In pasture, on top of a drumlin. A raised circular slightly concave area (int. diam. 3.8m) enclosed by a stony bank (Wth 1.4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.25m). A number of narrow gaps were noted in the bank. The barrow is overgrown with ferns.

A Neolithic embanked barrow; its construction reflects early funerary practices in the region. The presence of a stony bank and drumlin location suggests a ceremonial or burial function within a prehistoric landscape.
