The monument comprises the remains of a souterrain of later prehistoric date represented by cropmarks visible on oblique aerial photographs.
The monument lies in arable farmland at around 30m OD. It comprises the remains of a curving souterrain which measures about 12m in length and roughly 2m in width. Souterrains were semi-underground cellars attached to above-ground settlements during the Iron Age. They are generally thought to have been used for storage.
The area to be scheduled encompasses the souterrain 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.
