This feature is situated on a slightly elevated position at NO 1660 4451 nearly surrounded by marshy ground. The mound is wooded, low and flat with a scarp 1.5 metres max. ht. but there is no trace of any building on it. To the west and south are scarps forming terraces or the strip lynchets suggested by Crawford.
Apart from its general situation in boggy ground, the feature does not appear defensive. The scarps, especially the one between the mound and the outer scarp, resemble old plantation boundaries.
