The monument comprises the remains of two enclosed settlements and associated features of prehistoric date represented by cropmarks visible on oblique aerial photographs.
The monument lies in arable farmland at around 25m OD. It comprises the remains of two enclosed settlements both measuring some 50m by 50m within ditches some 1.5-2m wide. Within and around the enclosures are a series of cropmarks some of which are also likely to be archaeological in origin, representing buildings, pits and souterrains (semi-underground storage structures) associated with the settlement.
The area to be scheduled encompasses the principal cropmarks described above and an area around them in which traces of associated activity may be expected to survive. It is an irregular quadrilateral with maximum dimensions of 220m NNW-SSE by 120m as marked in red on the accompanying map.

The monument is of national importance because of its potential to contribute to our understanding of prehistoric settlement and economy. Its importance is enhanced by its close proximity to sites of potentially contemporary date.
