What was once a substantial oval earthwork, roughly sixty metres north to south and forty-five metres east to west, no longer rises above the surface at all. The monument was levelled at some point after the mid-twentieth century, and today its presence is betrayed only by a cropmark, the faint but telling difference in how crops grow over buried features, caused by the buried fosse, the enclosing ditch, that once defined its circuit.

The enclosure was documented on the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1839 and was still noted in the 1948 revision, suggesting it survived as an earthwork into at least the middle of the last century. An aerial photograph taken on 16 July 1971 captured what remained: the cropmark of the fosse tracing the outline of the original oval form. That same photograph also revealed something more complex than a simple single-ditched enclosure. An irregular outer fosse appears some ten to fifteen metres to the north and north-west, hinting at a multi-phase monument or at least a more elaborate original layout. A further possible enclosure, this one roughly square in plan, appears to adjoin the site to the south-east, raising the prospect that what once stood here was not an isolated feature but part of a wider cluster of related monuments.
