H 0.45m). Part of the bank is incorporated into a field boundary along the N arc. There is a break (Wth 1.2m) in the bank at NNE and a possible entrance (Wth 2.85m) with a causeway at W. There is a mound of stones at the centre of the interior and a stone-filled depression immediately to its S. The entire ring-barrow is obscured by gorse and briars.
