Some 24m to the S of another ring-barrow (GA104-242----). According to McCaffrey (1952, 29, no. 19a; 1955, 225), this was a circular ring-barrow (diam. c. 13m) comprising a low flat-topped mound (diam. c. 7m; H 0.3m) encircled by a fosse and external bank. It had been levelled and cultivation ridges crossed it. No visible surface trace now survives.
