It occupies an overgrown oval-shaped slightly raised area on a gentle southwest-facing slope, measuring 36 metres from north to south and approximately 45 metres from east to west. A scarp 0.5 to 0.8 metres high defines the boundary, with no evidence of an outer ditch or entrance feature. Old trees grow inside the monument, and recent conifer trees were planted in the field immediately to the south between the monument and the river.
