The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight N-facing slope in pasture. Identified on aerial photograph (Air Corps V. 263/102-3. 2-9-1959; Bruff 43). Enclosure (TS066-090001-) containing a possible barrow (TS066-090003-) is located immediately to the W. Roughly D-shaped slightly raised area (dims. 16m N-S; 16.5m E-W) defined by a broad earthen scarp (Wth 2-3.1m; H 0.1-0.3m) with an external flat-bottomed fosse (Overall Wth 2.8; Wth at base 1m; D 0.2m). The fosse encloses the monument NE-SW and is best preserved SE-SW, being very shallow and difficult to discern NE-SE. The fosse is not visible at ground level NW-NE. The enclosure is separated from enclosure (TS066-090001-) immediately to the W by a wide straight N-S orientated fosse (Overall Wth 6.6m; Wth at base 1.8m; D 0.3m) that appears to have been re-cut as a field drain with slight traces of the drain extending to the N and S of the enclosures. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is levelled up to compensate for the underlying natural slope and is clear of overgrowth. A slight terrace (dims. 4m N-S; 11m E-W; D below rest of interior 0.2m) is located on the N edge of the interior.
