On top of a N-S ridge of pasture with good views in all directions, nearby ringfort (TS043-024----) 300m to W. Impressive well-preserved ring-barrow (overall diam. 55m E-W) consisting of a circular mound (base diam. 30m E-W; top diam. 22m E-W; H above fosse 0.6m) defined by an inner fosse (top Wth 8m; base Wth 3.5m; ext. D 1m) and outer bank (top Wth 3.5m; base Wth 8.5m; ext. H 0.7m). The top of the mound is approx. level with the surrounding ground surface.
