Situated atop Sentry Hill with commanding views of the surrounding countryside. Impressive well-preserved monument (overall diam. 19m N-S; 17.6m E-W) consisting of a circular-shaped round topped earthen mound (top diam. 8.5m N-S; 8m E-W; H 1-1.7m; base diam. 13.5m N-S; 13.4m E-W) enclosed by a well preserved waterlogged fosse (base Wth 1-2m; top Wth 2.5-3.5m; ext. D 0.3-0.5m) with traces of a poorly preserved external earthen bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 0.2m). It is curious that the mound is not depicted as an antiquity on any edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map. A trig. station marking the spot height 217ft OD is depicted on the OS 6-inch map where the mound is located.
