Barrow described in 1942-3 as following; 'This structure consists of a slight mound surrounded by two fosses and two banks. The inner fosse and bank are continuous. The outer bank has two breaks none of which seem original and are probably due to efforts to drain the fosse, which is water-logged. The diameter of the mound itself is 45' [14m] approximately and the overall diameter of the whole monument is 210' [64m]. The surrounding field is a low-land marsh meadow which is subject to flooding. The height of the mound is about 4' [1.2m] (O'Kelly 1942-3, 238). Outline of barrow clearly visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 6 March 2020
