In low-lying pastureland. Excavated in 1970 by E. Rynne (pers. comm.), this circular ring-barrow (diam. 11m) comprised a low earthen mound (diam. 5.5m) encircled by a fosse and external bank. Three concentrations of cremated bones were uncovered: in the central mound, in the fosse at SW, and in the fosse at NE. Fragments of bronze and over 80 glass beads accompanied the bone at NE, suggesting an Early Iron Age date for the barrow. The monument was destroyed as a result of quarrying n the early 1980s and no visible surface trace survives.
