The monument comprises the remains of an enclosed settlement of prehistoric date represented by cropmarks visible on oblique aerial photographs.
The monument lies in arable farmland at around 20m OD. It comprises the remains of a roughly circular enclosure some 30m in diameter. It is defined by a ditch which measures up to about 4m across. The enclosure is located close to the line of the Antonine Wall and Mumrills Roman fort.
