What makes it worth a second look is the way its edges tell two different stories depending on where you stand. On the downslope side, the scarped edge drops sharply, reaching nearly four and a half metres in height, giving the feature a pronounced, almost defensive profile. Upslope, that same roughly circular form barely rises a tenth of a metre above the surrounding ground, a trace so subtle it requires deliberate attention to follow.

The earthwork measures approximately fourteen and a half metres on its north-east to south-west axis and just under twelve metres across. A fosse, the term for a ditch typically dug as part of a defensive or enclosing earthwork, is faintly detectable along the south-east arc, shallow now at around twenty centimetres deep and three and a half metres wide, but suggestive of a more complete enclosure at some earlier point. A field drain cuts across the south-west side, separating the mound from a field boundary and making that portion of the original form harder to read. What adds a particular layer of interest is the old trackway recorded on the second edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map, surveyed in 1897 to 1898, which ran to the north-east of the mound. That route is still legible on the ground today as a low, sunken feature, a ghost path that once connected this spot to somewhere else now forgotten. The relationship between the trackway and the earthwork is not recorded, but their proximity on a working agricultural slope raises quiet questions about how this place once functioned in the landscape.
