What makes this particular example quietly telling is what the landscape has done to it since it was first mapped. By 1840, the Ordnance Survey recorded it clearly as a large double-banked monument; by 1903, an outer bank was still visible running the full circumference. Today, only a remnant of that outer bank survives in the south-west quadrant, the rest worn or absorbed back into the surrounding pasture over the intervening century.

The monument itself is considerable in scale, roughly 65 metres north to south and 63 metres east to west internally, though the interior is now planted with conifers and fenced off, making a direct measurement impossible. What defines the site from the north-west around to the south is a scarp, essentially a cut or sloped face in the ground, which varies noticeably in height: just 0.35 metres in the southern quadrant, rising to 1.43 metres in the north-west. Along the northern edge of this scarp there is a notable accumulation of stone, which may represent the remains of revetting, the practice of facing an earthen bank with stone to stabilise it, or it may simply be the product of generations of field clearance, farmers piling loose stone against an already-existing edge. The surviving stretch of outer bank in the south-west retains a fosse, a defensive ditch, roughly two metres wide and 0.43 metres deep, sitting between it and the inner scarp. These modest measurements can read as dry figures on a page, but they describe a monument that was once carefully engineered and is now slowly being reclaimed by its own ground.
