Upstanding monument described in 1970 as a rectangular shaped area (approx. dims. 25m NW-SE; 30m NE-SW) enclosed by a well preserved earth and stone bank with steep external which is deepest on the E and W sides. There is an entrance gap (Wth 1.9m) and causeway across the fosse (Wth 2m) at ENE. Traces of a sub-rectangular shaped structure are visible in the SW quadrant of the interior which possibly could be the remains of a house site.
