The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight NE-facing slope in gently undulating pasture with a ditch-barrow (TS066-093----) and a ring-barrow (TS066-093001-) located 60m to the ENE. Rectangular slightly raised area (dims. 32m NE-SW; 25m NW-SE) defined by a broad earthen scarp (Wth 3m; H 0.2-0.45m) with a possible external fosse (Wth 4m). The scarped edge has been truncated NE-SE where a modern NW-SE orientated field drain abuts the edge of the enclosure. The possible fosse is visible as a very slight depression at the base of the scarped edge SE-SSE and NW-NE. The interior is slopes slightly facing NE and is clear of overgrowth.
