I've only viewed this from a hundred feet or so away as it's in the middle of a crop field and I didn't want to go wading through the farmer's livelihood. As a result all figures are pure guesswork! I'd say the mound itself was about 10 feet high with a diameter of 25 feet. It appears to still be perfectly (hemi-)spherical. I couldn't hazard a guess as to whether or not there was once a moat or ditch surrounding it.
In the otherwise level field it rises from the ground quite dramatically and is certainly worth taking a look at but with one proviso: access is not legal in the strictest sense of the word. There is a track passing through the field which is accessible from a gate on the A5132 but the gate is locked which suggests that one should keep out.
