The National Monuments Service's description

On level ground at the base of a slight N-facing slope, in low-lying gently undulating improved pasture. A ditch-barrow (TS058-042004-) is located within the enclosure on the SW side while the enclosure is at the SE edge of a relic field system (TS058-042001-) with an enclosure (TS058-042002-) 250m to the NW. Roughly rectangular raised area (dims. 19m ESE-WSW; 16.5m NNE-SSW) defined by a gently sloping earthen scarped edge (overall Wth 3m; H 1m) with an external fosse (overall Wth c. 2m). The external fosse is visible SW-N where a bare outline can be traced. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
