In gently undulating pasture, on a low rise. Circular area (dims. 6m N-S; 5.5m E-W) defined by fosse (Wth 1.6m; D 0.05m) which is in-filled at WSW due to disturbance from drainage channel (long axis NNW-SSE) to W. Traces of levelled external bank (Wth 6.2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.15m) SE-SSW and possibly at N. Identified as one of a pair of conjoined ring-barrows on an aerial photograph (OS 2396).
