The summit is flat topped (diam. 6.3m). There is no trace of an encircling bank or fosse. Probably a burial mound. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
Mound barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its construction and positioning suggest it was used as a burial monument, reflecting early funerary practices 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.
