Circular area (diam. 5m) defined by an irregular shallow fosse (overall Wth 2-2.5m; Wth at base 1-1.5m; D 0.1m). The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. According to local information, the barrow has a more regular form prior to the reclamation of the area. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 16 September 2014
