Marked only on the 1929 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a curved field bank S-W, and situated on a knoll just off the N-facing crest of a WNW-ESE ridge. D-shaped grass-covered mound (dims 6.6m N-S; 5.3m E-W; H 0.2-0.4m) separated by a flat-bottomed fosse (at W: Wth of top 4.6m; Wth of base 2.5m; D 0.4m; at N: Wth of top 7.5m; Wth of base 4.2m; D 0.2m) from an outer bank (Wth 3-4m; ext. H 0.5m at N to 0.9m at W) S-W-N. The monument is truncated by a NNE-SSW field bank at E (max. ext. dim. 24.6m N-S), which is the W bank of the roadway (RO021-042014-) located c. 800m to the NE and which can only be seen between the two locations in dry weather when the banks are visible as parch marks. Barrow (RO021-042021-) is c. 210m to the S.
