This low flat-topped oval mound (14m N-S; 9m E-W; H max. 0.85m) is most clearly defined from W-N where it is steep sided. It is bounded by a field wall at E and is overgrown with an indistinct edge at S. There is a stepped barrow (CL008-035----) c. 212m to the WSW.

A Neolithic barrow; its significance lies in its potential as a burial monument and as an indicator of early agricultural settlement in the region.
