What is recorded here
Situated midway along the top of a low natural ridge running NNE-SSW in low lying marshy pasture. Ringfort (WM011-045----) located 30m to W. Possible partially natural glacial hillock that has been scarped or modified to produce a roughly oval-shaped round-topped mound (diam. 20m) of earth and stones with no visible trace of an external fosse. Partial damage to mound at ENE possibly the result of quarrying which has produced a steep scarp running N-S with some large flag stones visible (SMR Files 17/10/1972; 28/08/1973).

A Bronze Age mound barrow, likely a burial monument, situated on a low ridge with possible glacial origins. Its association with a nearby ringfort suggests a continuity of settlement or ritual use of the landscape.
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.
