Situated on the gentle S-facing slope of a coastal ridge in a boggy area used for grazing with good views E to NW. A fairly well-preserved circular area (20.1m N-S; 19.5m E-W) with a central flat mound (12m N-S; 13m E-W; H 0.3m), a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 0.8-1.2m) and a well-defined outer bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.2-0.5). There is a causewayed entrance (Wth 3m) at E and the fosse is waterlogged to N and S of this. A small water-filled hollow (Wth 1.8m; D 0.5m) is located near the centre but does not appear to be contemporary. Another ring-barrow (CL065-109002-) lies 75m to SE and a third (CL065-109003-) lay c. 140m to SE but the third one has been destroyed by quarrying at the adjacent promontory fort (CL065-027----).
