The monument comprises the remains of a palisaded settlement of prehistoric date represented by cropmarks visible on oblique aerial photographs.
The monument lies in arable farmland at around 140m OD. It comprises a roughly circular enclosure some 25m in diameter defined by a narrow palisade trench. Excavation has shown that such structures generally date to the 1st millennium BC and represent the remains of enclosed farming settlements.
The area to be scheduled encompasses the enclosure and an area around it in which traces of associated activity may be expected to survive. It is circular with a diameter of 60m as marked in red on the accompanying map.
