Description
The monument is a bowl barrow and includes a sub-circular, earthen mound 0.8m
in height and with a maximum diameter of 15m. This mound has been cut or
eroded on its western edge by the adjoining footpath and measures no more than
11m east-west. The mound was probably originally surrounded by a ditch from
which earth was dug and used in the construction of the barrow, but any such
feature has become completely filled and no trace of it survives on the ground
surface. Evidence of such a ditch has, however, been noted in association with
other barrow mounds in the surrounding area.
