What is recorded here
In flat marshy grassland. This small circular barrow (D 18m int.) was noted during aerial reconnaissance (ASGAP 226:45). It consists of a flat area enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.55m) overgrown with gorse at N and NE. A band of vegetation surrounding it may mirror the line of a fosse. Possibly a ring-barrow. (Alcock et al. 1999, 13, no. 1077)
