The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, on exterior of enclosure (TS060-107005-). Circular area (dims. 3.1m E-W; 3m N-S) defined by shallow fosse (Wth 1.55m; D 0.05m) which is best preserved NE-NW. Fosse is poorly defined and potentially backfilled on exterior due to trampling by animals. Interior is a low profile dome shape. Ditch-barrows (TS060-107008- and TS060-107007-) are 9m and 20m to W respectively.
