Eight barrows occupy the fairly level, nettle-covered, narrow upper surface of a short, N-S esker in level pasture, with evidence of previous extensive sand/gravel extraction immediately to the N and E. Six contiguous barrows (KD019-001001-, KD019-001002-, KD019-001003-, KD019-001006-, KD019-001008-, KD019-001009-) run N-S, in-line at the N end of the esker and are contained in an enclosure (KD019-001004-) which girdles the lower slopes of the esker, while a seventh and eight barrow (KD019-001005-, KD019-001007-, ) lies c. 48m slightly down slope, and outside the enclosure, to the S.
KD019-001003- is the third-most northerly barrow in the group. A small circular area (diam. 6.6m) is defined by a low, broad berm (Wth 3.2m; ext H 0.1-0.4m) NW-NE and SE-SW. The monument is abutted at N by another barrow (KD019-001002-).
