What is recorded here
Situated in level elevated pasture. The site was probably circular originally, one half of which has been removed. Surface remains now comprise a slightly raised D-shaped area (dims. 13.5m N-S; 9m E-W) enclosed by a broad bank of earth (Wth 6.5m-7.4m; int. H 0.3m). No fosse is visible at ground level. From N-E-S the bank is absent and the site is defined by a slight linear N-S scarp (ext. H 0.15m).

A Neolithic embanked barrow; partially preserved with a D-shaped enclosure. Its significance lies in representing early funerary and ceremonial earthwork traditions in the region.
This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
