The National Monuments Service's description

On a gentle S-facing slope in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. A concentric enclosure (TS062-059001-) is located to the NE with an enclosure (TS062-059002-) and earthwork (TS062-059003-) located c. 100m to the N. A linear earthwork, possibly a hollow trackway, depicted on 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map and the 1903-04 ed. running E-W immediately SW of the concentric enclosure and another linear earthwork (TS062-059005-), running roughly N-S up to the outer bank of fosse of the S quadrant of the concentric enclosure. The field has been reclaimed and linear earthworks are no longer visible though there is a slight suggestion of the E-W feature where there is a slight hollow in the field (D 0.18m).
