The monument comprises the remains of a ring ditch house of prehistoric date represented by cropmarks visible on oblique aerial photographs.
The monument lies in arable farmland at around 40m OD. It comprises a ring ditch measuring about 12m in diameter within a ditch about 1.5m wide. The entrance faces SE and is about 3m wide. Ring ditches such as this have been shown by excavation to represent the remains of former timber roundhouses of the later prehistoric period.
The area to be scheduled encompasses the ring ditch and an area around it in which traces of associated activity may be expected to survive. It is circular with a diameter of 50m as marked in red on the accompanying map.

The monument is of national importance because of its potential to contribute to our understanding of prehistoric settlement and house construction. Its importance is enhanced by its proximity to sites of potentially contemporary date in the surrounding fields.
