The monument comprises an enclosed settlement of prehistoric date, visible as a cropmark on oblique aerial photographs.
The monument lies in arable farmland at around 20m OD. It is a large, roughly circular, ditched enclosure, of which only about two thirds is visible, the SW portion having been lost to road works. The enclosure measures about 190m NNW-SSE by at least 155m, with the ditch about 2m wide.
The area proposed for scheduling comprises the remains described and an area around them within which related material may be expected to be found. It is sub-circular with a maximum diameter of 210m, bounded on the W and SW by the E edge of a minor road, as marked in red on the accompanying map extract.
