A subcircular single ditch enclosure is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (p1-4). It has a diameter of roughly 33m. Abutting the enclosure in the west and east are linear features, likely to be field boundaries that are contemporary with the enclosure. One runs up to the enclosure from the west, and two more run from the east; all are roughly 65m long. The features were digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.

The record by Young & Turner includes the description of a sub-circular enclosure and linear ditches of field boundaries. These are unlikely to be contemporary and so have been recorded as separate monuments.
