The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, on a very gentle WSW-facing slope. A rectangular area (dims. 33m NE-SW; 32m NW-SE) defined by a bank (Wth at top 3.5m; overall Wth 5.7m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.45m) at NW and SE, reduced to scarp at SW and possibly incorporated into field boundary at NE, and a fosse (basal Wth 2.2m; overall Wth 4.8m; D 0.35m) to SE, SW and NW sides. A linear field boundary (Wth at top 0.75m; overall Wth 2.95m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1m) defines the exterior of the fosse to SE. The interior is generally falling from NE and SW sides to a gentle depression within the centre and the perimeter is obscured by dense vegetation. The monument is transected across the NE side by an estate trackway (Wth 2.6m).
