Description

The monument includes a bowl barrow which is visible as an earthen mound standing to a height of 2.6m and covering an area 30m in diameter. On the western side of the mound, extending towards the centre, a linear hollow c 1.2m wide marks the site of an old slit trench. North of the centre is an irregular hollow measuring c 4m in diameter and 0.8m deep in the mound surface, and there are three smaller hollows c 2m in diameter and 0.3m deep on the western side. Although there is no evidence visible on the ground surface of a ditch encircling the mound, it is likely that one will survive as a buried feature.
