The National Monuments Service's description
In level wet pasture and respects a ringfort (TS057-016001-) and a possible moated site (TS057-016013-) on the N side with at least thirteen ring-barrows (TS057-016002- to TS057-016012-; TS065-069001-/TS065-069002-) interspersed throughout its visible extent. A series of broad shallow linear channels (av. dims Wth at base 1.6m; overall Wth 4.2m; D 0.3m) defining individual roughly rectangular (av. dims 30m by 40m) fields. The fields are usually rectangular but some curving sections are visible to the NE and W of the ringfort where the field system is best preserved. NE-SW orientated ridge and furrow (av. dims. ridge Wth 1.4-2m; H 0.05-0.1m; furrow Wth 0.4m-0.7m; D 0.1m), that respects the field system channels, the ringfort and the ring-barrows is visible to the NE of the ringfort.
