The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight E-facing slope in pasture. Ring-barrow (TS057-031----) is located 100m to the WNW. Slightly raised area (diam. 18m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (Wth 2m; H 1m) separated by a wide flat-bottomed fosse (Wth at base 2m) from an intermediate bank (int. H 0.5-0.95m; ext. H 0.5-0.70m; Wth at top 4m; overall Wth 7.4m) with a second wide flat-bottomed fosse (Wth at base 1.25m) and an low broad external earthen bank (int. H 0.4-0.7m; ext. H 0.15m; Wth at top 2m; overall Wth 5.7m). From E-SE the fosses and the intermediate bank are very denuded with only very slight remains visible at ground level and the external bank is absent NW-SE. Interior slopes slightly facing SE.
