Mound barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location on a prominent hillock suggests it was a ceremonial or funerary monument with potential territorial or ritual significance.

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.
