What is recorded here
Situated at N end of natural ridge in undulating pasture with good views in all directions. High oval-shaped flat-topped mound (top dims. 7.8m x 6.28m; base diam. c. 31m NE-SW x 24m NW-SE) of earth and stones with no evidence of an enclosing fosse or any other feature associated with the mound. The sides of the mound are quite steep on W, N and E sides. The NE side of the mound has been damaged by quarrying and there are some thorn bushes growing on the monument at this location. Possible mound barrow classification as it would appear to be too small to classify as a small motte (SMR File 06/06/1985). Mound barrow placed on the Register of Historic Monuments on the 18/06/1986.
