A Neolithic burial mound, likely dating to the Early to Middle Bronze Age, based on its form and the presence of standing stones. Its low profile and scattered stones suggest partial survival of a once more substantial funerary monument, typical of early megalithic traditions in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
