A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2500–1500 BCE), commonly used as a single burial monument. Its presence indicates a wider pattern of Bronze Age funerary activity in the region, though its specific significance remains unclear due to limited documentation.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
