Mound barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. It represents a common funerary monument type in the British Isles, associated with ritual and burial practices of the period.

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.
