Description

Round barrow surviving quite well within pine woodland. It is approx 20m diameter and up to 1m high, possibly higher on the western side. The exact boundary between man-made mound and natural slope is hard to distinguish. The centre is uneven and hollowed out suggesting disturbance either by antiquarian digging or/and by old pathways. At present there appears to be no well used pathways across the monument. A large path to the west may just cut across the expected ditch although no ditch is visible from the surface.
