The National Monuments Service's description

In gently undulating rough pasture within a small complex of earthworks that contains moated site (TS057-019001-), trackway (TS057-019003-) and another moated site (TS057-019002-). Slightly raised roughly rectangular area (dims. 22m NE-SW; 23m NW-SE) enclosed by a low earthen scarp (Wth 1.4m; H 0.3m). The scarp is only barely visible on the NE side and is very difficult to follow at ground level. Moated site abuts the fosse defining the hollow-way on the NW side and extends along the NE half of the visible length of the hollow-way (total L 44m). The original entrance is not recognisable. Gently undulating interior is dry and clear of overgrowth.
