The National Monuments Service's description
In level wet pasture on the NW side of a field system (TS057-016016-) with a ring-barrow (TS057-016007-) immediately to the NNW and others nearby. Circular area (diam. 4.m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (Wth 0.8m; H 0.2m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.4m) and a low external earthen bank (int. H 0.15; ext. H 0.05m: Wth at top 0.6m; overall Wth 1.6m). The scarp, fosse and external bank enclose the ring-barrow NW-SE. The external bank is best preserved NNE-SE and is barely NW-NNE where the ring-barrow abuts the S edge of another ringbarrow (TS057-016007-). From SE-NW the edge of the interior is defined by the rounded corner of a modern field drain that has removed the fosse and the external bank. Interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
