The National Monuments Service's description

In gently undulating rough pasture. Trackway extends from 8m outside the entrance of the moated site (TS 057-019001) between two moated sites (TS057-019002- to the NW and TS057-019004- to the SE). The trackway consists of a slightly raised flat-topped linear feature (dims. L 44m NE-SW; Wth 8m NW-SE at SW end; 2m NW-SE at NE end) curving slightly from SW to NE along its length, defined by a low earthen scarp (Wth 1.15-1.6m; H 0.35m) with a slight flat-bottomed fosse (Wth at base 1.7m; overall Wth 3m; D 0.15-0.25m) at either side. A clearly defined square end defined by a scarp survives at the SW limit of the hollow way while the NE end is less regular being defined by a disturbed scarp possibly indicating that it extended further to the NE.
