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.
