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.
