A Neolithic burial mound, likely dating to the Early to Middle Bronze Age, indicating early ritual and funerary practices in the region. Its prominent location suggests it had ceremonial or social significance for the local community.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
