The monument comprises the remains of a ring ditch house of prehistoric date represented by cropmarks visible on oblique aerial photographs.
The monument lies on relatively level ground in an arable field at around 110m OD. It comprises a ring ditch approximately 20m in diameter, with a ditch up to about 4m wide. Such cropmarks commonly represent the buried remains of timber roundhouses of later prehistoric date.
The area to be scheduled encompasses the ring ditch house and an area around it in which traces of associated activity may be expected to survive. It is circular with a diameter of 60m as marked in red on the accompanying map.
