Situated on the E-facing slope of a low drumlin. Subcircular grass and reed-covered area (int. dims 32m N-S; 27.5m E-W) defined by a round-topped, steep-sided earthen bank (Wth 2.45m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m) which is reduced to a scarp at NW. Slight traces of an outer fosse (Wth 1-2m) are visible as lush vegetation N-E-SW, but the original entrance is not identified. The monument is traversed by an E-W farm track.
