Situated on a slight NE-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture, with good views to NW and NE. Monument described in 1971 as a much modified, oval-shaped area (dims. 30.2m N-S; 28.8m E-W) enclosed by a bank and external fosse with a gap (Wth at top 6.4m; basal Wth 2.1m) at ENE which may represent the entrance, and is partially blocked by a modern stone wall. The earthen bank is substantial with the remains of internal stone facing visible and has been steepened and clad with a modern external stone facing. There are traces of an outer fosse. There is a large relatively modern breach in the bank at NNE. Piles of earthen material have been pushed up against the interior and exterior of the bank at SSW giving the effect of a flat-topped, subtriangular-shaped platform with steep sides. This may date to the planting of the trees. The interior has a gentle NE-facing slope and is planted with trees.
