The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture with a barrow located 200m to the NE. Circular raised area (diam. 20m) defined by an internal low broad earthen bank (overall Wth 4.45m; Wth at top 2m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.75m). At the external base of the bank is a wide flat-bottomed fosse (Wth at base 2m; D 0.3m) and a low broad external earthen bank (overall Wth 4.45m; Wth at top 2m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.3m). There is a modern break (Wth 6m) in the internal bank at E. The external bank is best preserved E-S being very low and difficult to discern S-E. A modern ENE-WSW orientated field drain extends to the external base of the external bank at SE and a portion (Wth 2m) of the external bank has been removed by a drain at WSW. A break (Wth 4m) in the internal bank at W, with traces of a causeway across the fosse, marks the position of the original entrance. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
