A sub-circular area (dims. 18m N-S; 17m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (overall Wth 12.8m; Wth at top 2.8m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.75m) and outer fosse (Wth 9.05m; D 0.65m) from ESE-ENE, neither bank or fosse are visible in the E quadrant (Wth 7m). The bank appears straightened along the W side. The interior slopes to the E. The bank is eroded by cattle around the S arc. The monument is incorporated into the field as pasture. There is an open, shallow land drain (long axis WSW-ENE) c. 4m to the SSE. An enclosure (TS060-133----) is located c. 84m to the SSE.
