Not marked on historic OSi maps. Identified by Stenberger (1966, 39) as a possible barrow (Site V) consisting of one of ‘two barely distinguishable ring-shaped structures (LI041-013016-), one on each side of the stream which here runs from south to north’, described as a possible grave (No. V) which measured approx. 13m in diameter. Monument is visible as a circular cropmark (diam. c. 6m) defined by a ditch on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimage dated 18/11/2018.
