In level wet pasture near the centre of a field system (TS057-016014-) with a ring-barrow (TS057-016009-) 8m to the NW and other ring-barrows nearby. Roughly circular slightly raised area (diam. 5.2m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (Wth 0.6m; H 0.2m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.6) and a low broad external earthen bank (int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.1m; Wth at top 0.7m; overall Wth 1.7m). From NW-NNE the scarped edge has been truncated and the fosse removed where an ENE-WSW orientated field bank crosses the N edge of the ring-barrow. The external bank is best preserved NNE-ESE being barely visible at ground level ESE-NW been removed NW-NNE where the field bank crosses the N edge of the monument.
