It is a ring barrow, a type of burial monument associated broadly with the Bronze Age and Iron Age, in which a low mound or levelled area is defined by a surrounding ditch, known as a fosse. This one is modest even by the standards of its type: roughly 3.5 metres in diameter, enclosed by a shallow fosse that survives best along its north-western to north-eastern arc.

What gives this particular site its quiet interest is its proximity to a second ring barrow nearby. The two monuments sit approximately 17 metres apart, a pairing that was not uncommon in prehistoric funerary practice, where barrows were sometimes laid out in loose groupings or pairs, possibly reflecting family burial, communal ritual, or the gradual accumulation of a sacred landscape over generations. The details of who was buried here, or when precisely, are unknown. The site has not been excavated, and the wet pasture that surrounds it offers no obvious clues. It simply persists, marked by that faint enclosing ditch, in ground that has likely never been ploughed deep enough to erase it.
