Situated in pasture. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork, with field boundaries extending from S and NW. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a much modified roughly triangular-shaped earthwork truncated by a field boundary running NW-SE to W.
Described in 1983 as a circular-shaped area (diam. 28m) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and a partially surviving outer bank. The inner earthen bank (int. H 0.5-1m) is very well preserved from NW-N-E-SE, is levelled from SE-SW and is poorly preserved to SW-NW. There is a substantial fall from the inner bank into the fosse (D 3-4m; Wth 2m), particularly to N. The outer earthen bank (int. H c. 1m) rises steadily from the fosse. It is best preserved around the N arc and is barely traceable around the E arc. There are several gaps in the outer bank. Monument is visible today as a partially tree-lined earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
