Couple feet wide, 6" below the grade level at the lowest point. The trick is to blend it in so it doesn't look like a trench but carrys the water off. Looks low in the back right corner of the photo, chances are if you could get the water flowing downhill under the stone wall you'd be home free......

I looks worse than it is, because the swale starts working whne the first drop of water falls, now you see an accumulation......
