What is recorded here
On a slight E-facing slope in rolling pasture and is conjoined to a second slightly larger ring-barrow (TS058-088----) to the SSE. Circular area (diam. 4m) defined by an earthen scarp (Wth 0.6m; H 0.1m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.6m; D 0.05m) and an external earthen bank (overall Wth 2.2m; Wth at top 1m; H 0.1m). The external bank is absent SW-NW where the line of a now removed N-S orientated field boundary abuts the W edge of the barrow. The interior slopes slightly facing E and is clear of overgrowth.
