The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NE-facing slope of a broad NW-SE ridge. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 53m N-S; 47m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.25-1m). The perimeter at SE is overlain by a NNE-SSW relict field bank (Wth 1.8m; H 0.3m) which extends off to the S. The interior is overlain by a N-S field wall and hedge towards its W edge, and a fosse (Wth of top 5.7m; Wth of base 2.8m; D 0.65m) defines the perimeter W of this feature SW-NW. Souterrain (035-027002-) is inside the perimeter at SW.
