Monument identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 280: AP 4/3607), as a small circular-shaped cropmark. Monument is visible as a small circular-shaped earthwork (diam. 10m) defined by a fosse, which is best seen on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012 and is visible as a faint roughly circular-shaped cropmark on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/05/2017.

A ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with burial and ceremonial practices of the period; its location on a river floodplain suggests potential significance in a landscape of ritual or territorial importance.
