Details Henge monument ( Class I), situated on a flat grassy haugh at the bottom of a steep-sided valley. It consists of a circular bank 16.5 m in diameter with an internal ditch enclosing a circular platform (6 m diameter). There is an entrance causeway across the southeast quadrant of a ditch with corresponding break in the outer bank. It appears similar in all respects to the Neolithic causewayed cremation cemeteries at Dorchester, Oxon, sites IV-VI. The low-lying position of the henge, close to water, is typical.
