The National Monuments Service's description
In level wet pasture on the NW side of a field system (TS057-016014-) and with a ring-barrow (TS057-016005-) 24m to the NE and another (TS057-016007-) 10m to the SSE with others nearby. Circular area (diam. 4.2m) enclosed by a low earthen scarp (Wth 0.6m; H 0.1m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth at base 0.4m; D 0.1m). From SSW-NW the scarp has been truncated and the fosse removed by a NNW-ESE orientated modern field drain. Interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
