The earthwork is sub-oval in shape, measures approximately 45m in length by 30m in width and lies within an area where a number of similar such features have been recorded. The former possible clay or gravel pit remains visible as an earthwork pit on aerial photographs up until 1965, although is obscured by dense tree cover after this date.
