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.
