In gently undulating low-lying wet pasture with a ring-barrow (TS065-024002-) located 18m to the S and others nearby. Identified on aerial photograph (Ordnance Survey 2430/29). Circular area (diam. 4m) enclosed by a scarped edge (Wth 0.8m; H 0.1m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth at base 0.4m; overall Wth 1m; D 0.1m). The scarped edge and fosse are absent NW-NNE where the edge of the barrow has been eroded by livestock. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
