The National Monuments Service's description
Visible as a linear feature (L c. 100m) aligned NW-SE on aerial photographs (ACAP: V221/127-8), and situated on a gentle N-facing slope. A N-S field drain (Wth 2m; D 0.8m) survives at the N end (L 36m), but it is visible extending SE from the S end of the drain as a grass-covered depression (Wth of top 6-7m; D 0.3-0.4m) which does not have accompanying banks but which curves to the E at the S end (total L c. 180m). It is overlaid by an E-W field bank that is marked on the 1837 and 1915 eds of the OS 6-inch map and it might be an old stream bed.
