Situated in relatively low-lying, rough, wet pasture with good views in all directions. Depicted on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as a subtriangular-shaped earthwork. Incorporated into a deserted medieval settlement (WM025-111004-) and an ancient field system (WM025-111001-). Enclosures (WM025-114----/-113----) lie c. 87m to SE and 105m to SW, respectively. Monument described as a subtriangular-shaped area (dims. 41m N-S) enclosed by a low, rounded bank which is almost reduced to a scarp with no visible trace of an external fosse, a possible entrance gap visible at NNE. The interior has traces of cultivation ridges running E-W. Monument is visible today as an irregular-shaped earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
