Situated on a low rise in rolling pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 10.4m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 2.8m - 3.7m; H 0.4m) with an internal fosse (Wth. 2.3m - 2.9m; D 0.5m). The E half of the central area is largely occupied by a horizontal concrete slab from which a pipe protrudes. Immediately W of this is a shallow depression and a scattering of stones.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, characterized by its circular earthen and stone bank with an internal fosse. Such barrows often served as burial monuments and are significant for understanding early funerary practices and landscape use in prehistoric Britain.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
