This circular earthwork is located on the north end of a north-south ridge above a bend in the Beaulieu River, which is no more than a stream here. The Hampshire Treasures resource describes this site as a "possible bowl barrow", albeit one eighty metres (!) in diameter with a bank and ditch at the south.
The Magic Map describes the earthworks as a "slight univallate hillfort" but this hill is little more than a sandy knoll and there are no signs of any original entrances to the earthworks. The nearby seepage mire is called "Fort bog", presumably after this earthwork.
Access Nearest car park is at Matley Wood (SU332074) on the Lyndhurst-Beaulieu road, head north on foot through Matley Wood and then along the ridge. Nearest railway station is Ashurst (New Forest) about 1.3km to the north.
