In rough, gently undulating pasture. Identified during field survey by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly (9 December 2008). A ring-barrow (TS066-183002-) is located c. 31m to the W. A circular area (diam. 5.8m) defined by a fosse (Wth 1.3m; D 0.12m). The interior is generally the same height as the exterior and wild irises cover the N half and extend into the fosse. The monument overlooks a former bog to the N and E which was planted with conifers c. 8 years ago.
