Description
The monument includes a bowl barrow situated on former heathland in Tunstall Forest, lying 950m north west of Heath Cottages. The barrow is visible as an earthen mound surrounded by a ditch. The mound, which is circular in plan, stands to a height of up to 1m and covers an area approximately 14m in diameter. The ditch, from which earth was quarried during construction of the barrow, has become largely infilled, but can be traced as a hollow approximately 3.5m wide and 0.3m deep in the ground surface around the base of the mound.
