Barrow is a circular ring-barrow, thirty-eight metres across, cut by a fosse on a north-facing slope above the Camoge River. It sits close to field boundaries and near a standing stone, yet resisted depiction on historic maps until aerial photography revealed its shape. The land may have held dead, marked time or simply changed hands beneath grass and rain.
In pasture on N-facing slope overlooking the Camoge River 330m to N and 250m NE of a standing stone (LI032-069----).
