Description
The monument includes a bowl barrow, prominently sited on a ridge overlooking
the valley of the Little Ouse River which runs 310m to the north. The barrow
is visible as an earthen mound standing to a height of c.1m and covering a
circular area c.23m in diameter. The mound is encircled by a ditch c.3m in
width from which earth was quarried during the construction of the barrow.
This has become almost completely infilled and survives largely as a buried
feature, although it can be traced as a very slight hollow in the ground
surface.
