The National Monuments Service's description

Off-centre to W, within interior of a ceremonial enclosure (TS069-002001-) which is a National Monument (No. 537). Oval area (dims. 14m N-S; 17m E-W) defined by fosse (Wth 2.45m; D 0.4m). Fosse in-filled at NE where there may be a causeway (Wth c. 10m) and also in-filled at WSW-WNW, where monument appears partially levelled. There may be traces of an external bank SE-S. Identified as an oval cropmark on aerial photograph (DPM 30th April 1979). Described by Cahill (1982) as traces of a mound-like feature. Another internal ring-barrow (TS069-002003-) has been identified in the SW quadrant, clearly visible on 3-D modelling (see https://skfb.ly/KuHP).
