Situated on gentle SE-facing slope, in undulating pasture, with restricted views. Monument described as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 31.5m) enclosed by a bank best preserved from W-N-NNE and from ESE-SE with several small disturbance gaps. There is no visible trace of an external fosse. A very wide gap (Wth at top 8.4m; Wth at base 4.7m) at SSE may represent the entrance. The interior has a SSE-facing slope and there are traces of cultivation ridges running NNW-SSE. A field report from 1971 noted a low earthen bank extending from the centre of the monument to the enclosing bank at WNW. There is a large quarried depression just outside the bank from ESE-SE. A field boundary running NW-SE intersects the monument at SW.
