Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture, with extensive views to ESE and S. A pond lies c. 155m to SW. Monument described in 1971 as a roughly circular-shaped area (dims. 43.5m E-W; 39m N-S) enclosed by a bank and external fosse with no clear entrance feature visible. The bank is steep on the exterior and is almost reduced to a scarp and is slightly defaced by livestock in several places. The fosse is wide, shallow and flat-based with steep sides and is best preserved from SSE-S-W. The interior has a gentle E-facing slope and definite traces of cultivation ridges running E-W. A complex of banks, scarps and trenches surround the site, with some of the banks in close proximity. It is difficult to assess whether these represent part of a modern field system which has gone into disuse or whether it is an older system.
