The ring-barrow is not depicted on historic OSi maps, but it is faintly visible on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12 and on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 92; AP 4/3672) as a circular ring-barrow (ext. diam. 10.3m) that consists of a central circular area surrounded by a fosse. The ring-barrow is visible on the Google Earth orthoimages taken 18/11/2018.

Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its association with a ringfort and enclosure suggests a ritual or funerary landscape of regional significance.
