The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. Listed in the SMR (1989) and the RMP (1995) and classified as 'Earthwork'. This is based on its representation on the 1914 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a linear scarp (L c. 40m) along the 300ft contour. There is a building indicated immediately to N. The earthwork is not visible at ground level.
