The monument comprises the remains of an enclosed settlement of prehistoric date represented by cropmarks visible on oblique aerial photographs.
The monument lies on arable farmland at around 50m OD and comprises an enclosure of about 30m square within a narrow ditch some 2m wide. A dark cropmark and further linear cropmarks within the enclosure suggest the survival of internal divisions and the traces of former internal buildings. The surrounding area contains several less distinct cropmarks including a possible second enclosure.
