The structure is a ditch barrow, a form of prehistoric funerary monument in which a low mound or levelled interior is defined not by a raised bank but by a surrounding fosse, or ditch, cut into the ground. This one is modest in scale but precise in form: a circular area three metres in diameter, set on a slight rise on the northern side of the enclosure, with a second ditch barrow lying twelve metres to the south on the enclosure's opposite side.

The fosse itself is shallow by any measure, just a quarter of a metre deep and flat-bottomed, with an overall width of three and a half metres tapering to one metre at the base. What makes the monument quietly intriguing is a slight causeway, a metre wide, crossing the fosse on its eastern side. This may indicate an original entrance to the interior, the kind of deliberate gap that archaeologists look for as evidence of intended use rather than accidental survival. The interior sits approximately 0.2 metres below the surrounding ground level and remains level and clear of overgrowth, which is itself unusual for a feature of such slight relief. The whole structure was identified not through ground survey but through aerial photography, which has a particular ability to reveal cropmarks and tonal differences invisible to someone standing in a field.
