A ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its sub-circular fosse and orientation suggest a funerary or ceremonial function typical of burial monuments in this period.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
