The feature measures roughly 3.3 by 3.5 metres across and is defined by a fosse, the term used for a shallow encircling ditch, that is only ten centimetres deep at most. The interior slopes gently downward from the centre toward this faint surrounding trench, a form characteristic of what is classified as a ditch barrow, a type of low funerary mound demarcated by a modest ditch rather than an earthen bank. It is the kind of monument that agricultural centuries have done their best to erase.

The site sits on a low rise just above an old water course, a positioning typical of prehistoric communities who often placed their dead at subtle transitions in the landscape, at the edges of wet and dry ground. The surrounding pasture was drained in the 1880s, which will have altered the immediate environment considerably and may account for the indistinct condition of the fosse today. The monument was formally identified during a field survey carried out by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly on 26 November 2008. Notably, a second ditch barrow of the same type lies approximately twenty-one metres to the northwest, suggesting this small rise once held some significance as a place of burial or commemoration, even if nothing of any visible ceremony remains.
