The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, on an elevated area of ground defined by old water channels. A ditch barrow (TS066-061002-) abuts c. 2m to the ESE and another (TS066-061004-) is located c. 7m to the W. A circular area (dims. 2.5m N-S.; 2.3m E-W) defined by a fosse (Wth 1m; D 0.08-0.1m). The perimeter of the interior is slightly higher SW-W-NW, possibly to compensate for the slight slope down to the W.
