The National Monuments Service's description
In level wet pasture on the NW side of a field system (TS057-016014-) with a ringfort (TS057-016001-) 16m to the NE and a ring-barrow (TS057-010009-) 8m to the ENE with others nearby. Roughly circular slightly raised area (diam. 4.8m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (Wth 0.4-0.8m; H 0.2m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth at base 0.4-0.6m; overall Wth 1-1.2m; D 0.15m). From SE-S the fosse is absent where the edge of the ring-barrow has been eroded by livestock. Interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
