What is recorded here

On an esker ridge overlooking lower land to the S. This circular ring-barrow (diam. 19m), in fair condition, consists of a central mound (diam. 8.8m; H 0.65-0.9m) surrounded by a fosse and external bank. McCaffrey (1952, 27, no. 84) noted one stone slab set on edge near the centre of the monument and another possible one nearby; no visible surface trace of these survive.
