Description
The monument includes a bowl barrow situated on low-lying heathland to the
west of Westwood Marshes. It is visible as an earthen mound standing to a
height of c.1m and covering a sub-circular area which measures 22m east-west
by 25m north-south. In the north-western edge of the mound, a crescent-shaped
hollow, measuring 9m by 6m, marks the site of an exploration, probably carried
out early in the 19th century. The northern side of the mound, the original
diameter of which was about 22m, has been extended c.3m by upcast from this
excavation.
