The National Monuments Service's description
In rough, level pasture which though drained remains wet and badly poached by cattle. A ring-barrow (TS066-041001-) is located c. 8m to E. Identified as a ring-ditch on an aerial photograph (OS 2397/6 and 2348). A sub-circular area (dims. 5.6m N-S; 4.5m E-W) defined by a fosse (Wth 1.5m; D 0.07m) ESE-S-NNE. A drain running NW-SE truncates the monument across the ENE sector and a second drain runs ENE-WSW c. 0.8m to the S of the fosse.
