What is recorded here
Situated on top of a drumlin. A hachured mound is depicted as within a larger enclosure (MO011-003001-) only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and both are depicted as a planation on the 1834 edition. The barrow is a low grass-covered mound (diam. of top 7.5m N-S; 7.5m E-W; H 0.65m) with some deciduous trees defined by a fosse (Wth of base 0.8m; ext. D 0.3m). There is no outer bank (max. ext. diam. 14m), and there is no evidence now of an outer enclosure, but that was recorded in 1948 (OSFM) as a circular area (diam. c. 40m N-S) defined by a scarp (H c. 1m) NW-E-SW that melded into the slope elsewhere.

Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location on a drumlin and depiction on early Ordnance Survey maps suggest it is a significant, though poorly documented, prehistoric burial monument.
