Near the summit of a hill on the E facing slope, in an area of hilly fertile pasture with good views. Named ‘Cross Hill’ on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and ‘Cross (Site of)’ on the 1916 ed.
A low earthen tumulus, oval in plan (13.75m E-W; 11m N-S; H 1.6-1.85m) and higher at the E extent. A single loose limestone boulder lies against its E face where some evidence of field clearance rubble can be felt around the sides which are overgrown with nettles. No trace of a cross, cross base plinth or any other feature can be seen.
