The National Monuments Service's description
In level, improved pasture. Two ditch barrows (TS066-081001-; TS066-081002-) are located c. 34m and c. 4.5m to the NNE and WSW respectively. An oval area (dims. 5m NE-SW; 4m NW-SE) defined by the remains of very shallow fosse (Wth 2.05m; D 0.2m) from S-W-NNE. The interior is 0.1m lower than the external ground level and has been levelled out across the SE sector where it falls very gradually into the fosse. It is visible on a aerial photograph (ref. OS 2437/6) as a sub-circular anomaly.
