The monument comprises the remains, showing as cropmarks, of a large ditched enclosure, probably a prehistoric settlement, and an alignment of pits, probably a contemporary land boundary.
Although the remains have been ploughed flat, experience shows that important evidence may survive in the surviving portions of the site, below the ploughsoil.
The area to be scheduled measures 290m WSW to ENE by 210m
transversely, to include the enclosure and the pit alignment and an area around them in which traces of activity associated with their use may survive, as marked in red on the attached map. Modern field boundaries are specifically excluded.

The monument is of national importance as an enclosed settlement and a portion of a land boundary which together have the potential to enhance considerably our understanding of prehistoric settlement and landuse. They are of particular importance because of the survival nearby of other prehistoric settlement features of different types.
