Roughly 8.8 metres across and less than a metre high, it is composed mainly of small stones now so thoroughly grassed over that it reads more as a gentle swelling in the field than anything deliberately constructed. The top is dished, giving it a subtly concave profile, and it occupies a corner of a field set in undulating grassland. That combination of features, the circular form, the slight hollow at the summit, the stone core under turf, is enough to make archaeologists pause without quite resolving the question.

The uncertainty at the centre of this site is genuinely interesting. It has been tentatively identified as a house platform, the kind of earthwork that can survive for centuries after a building has vanished entirely, leaving only the raised footprint of its walls or floor. Less likely, according to those who have examined it, is that it might be a barrow, a burial mound of the sort raised over the dead during the Bronze Age or later periods. The dished top could support either reading: house platforms are often hollowed by the collapse or removal of internal material, while some barrows were deliberately constructed with a central depression. About 30 metres to the south, a number of low grassed-over earth and stone banks add another layer of ambiguity, hinting at further activity in the immediate area without clarifying the picture. Whether these relate to the platform or represent something entirely separate is not known.
