It is the kind of thing that most walkers would cross without a second thought, reading it as nothing more than uneven ground, a quirk of the pasture rather than something deliberate and old.

The feature is classified as a barrow, a broad term for a burial mound or funerary earthwork, though in this case the monument expresses itself as a scarp rather than a raised mound. A scarp is essentially a sharp change in the level of the ground, here forming the boundary of a sub-oval enclosure measuring roughly eleven metres east to west and eight and a half metres north to south. The scarp itself is just under two metres wide and barely ten centimetres high, which goes some way towards explaining why it registers on neither the OS maps nor a Google Earth image captured in June 2018. The interior of the enclosed area is uneven and slopes from its centre towards both the north-east and the south-west. It sits at the base of a gentle north-east-facing slope in undulating pasture, with open views in all directions. The record was compiled by Martin Fitzpatrick and uploaded in July 2020.

Because the site is uncharted on standard maps, locating it requires some prior research and a good sense of the local topography. The surrounding pasture is privately farmed land, so any visit would need the landowner's permission. The gentle, open landscape means the broader setting is easy enough to read once you are on the ground, but the monument itself rewards patience and a slow pace; the scarp is so subtle that it reads more clearly underfoot than it does to the eye, particularly when the grass is long. A low, raking light in the early morning or late afternoon can help, throwing the slight change in ground level into enough shadow to make the oval shape legible from a short distance.
