An embanked enclosure (TS058-046----) is located 18m to the NE, the standing stone (TS058-023004-) at Longstone is visible 1.5km to the NNE with a mound-barrow (TS058-047----) visible 750m to the SE. Circular area (diam. 5.5m) defined by an earthen scarp (Wth 0.6m; H 0.05-0.1m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.6m) and an external earthen bank (overall Wth 1m; int. H 0.05-0.1m).
