Towards the top of the SW-facing slope of a rise in a low-lying landscape. Oval grass-covered area (dims. 50m E-W; 40m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5m at NW to 9m at NE; int. H 0.25-1.2m; ext. H 1.2-1.4m) at NW, NE-E and S-SW, which is reduced to a scarp (H 1m) elsewhere. The interior is overlain by an ENE-WSW field bank, hedge and drain towards the perimeter at SE. There is no visible fosse or recognisable entrance. Mound barrow (RO006-158----) is c. 140m to the SW.
