Located on top of a drumlin. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 29m N-S) defined by an overgrown scarp (H 0.25m at N to 1m at SSE) with a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 4-5m; Wth of base 2.3m; ext. D 0.15-0.3m) SW-N. The monument is bisected by a N-S field bank and hedge with field spoil and dense scrub to the E of this feature and rushes to the W. The original entrance is not identified.
