On flat grassland with good views in all directions. Nearby enclosure (TS052-063----) 450m and ringfort (TS052-041----) 840m to NE. Monument consists of a large circular area (int. diam 160m N-S; 110m E-W) enclosed by a well-preserved flat-topped earth and stone bank (top Wth 3.5m; base Wth 5.1m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2m) and outer fosse (base Wth 4m; top Wth 6m; ext. D 1.1m) and entrance gap (Wth 4.4m) at S. Bank reduced to a scarp along W side of enclosure which runs parallel to a small stream. On latest ed. OS 6-inch map monument is depicted as a D-shaped enclosure with annexe to N of enclosure, however, the bank which divides the annexe from the interior has been levelled. The annexe to the N may be the remains of 19th-century field boundaries which were added onto the N side of the large enclosure. Originally the enclosure may have consisted of a D-shaped enclosure (int. diam. 85m N-S; 110m E-W) with straight side at N (L 80m), which had a later triangular-shaped field boundary added onto the N side of the enclosure which was enclosed by a low well-preserved earth and stone bank (top Wth 2m; base Wth 3.7m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m). These later field boudaries may be associated with a house which was added onto the N side of the enclosure. Impressive large circular enclosure which is very well preserved.
