In low-lying marshy grassland. This roughly subcircular ring-barrow (18m E-W; 16.8m N-S) is defined by a low, grassed-over circular mound (diam. 8m; max. H 0.4m at E; D 0.2-0.4m) surrounded a shollow fosse (max. Wth 5.3m at W; D 0.1-0.4m). There is no trace of an entrance gap. A field drain (Wth 0.9m; D 0.1-0.15m) cuts the monument from NE to SW.
