On a ridge in undulating pastureland: a stream flows by to N. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) as a circular mound (D c. 15m) flanked at N by a scarp line.

The scarp line shown on the map probably marks the line of an earthen field boundary which runs along N slope of the ridge. Possibly a small tumulus.
