A sub-circular enclosure, c.74-80m in diameter, defined by twin banks and ditches, except where overlain by current field boundaries on the E, and disturbed by quarrying on the S. A NW facing entrance is suggested. Traces of possible buildings have been observed and 2nd-4th c. RB pottery recovered. (Coflein)
The monument comprises the remains of an earthwork enclosure probably dating to the later prehistoric period (c. 800- AD74). The enclosure is situated on a slight ridge and slopes gently towards the south-east. The enclosure is roughly circular, enclosed by a low bank with another outer bank in places. On the south side the bank has an internal height of 0.7m, and an external height of 1m. Outside it is a 6m wide berm, and then another drop of 1-1.4m. On the south-east side the bank has been destroyed by past quarrying. (Scheduling Report)
