In pasture, located on a broad, low rise, with good views, in an area of generally lowlying, poorly drained terrain.
Not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; a roughly circular hachured area is shown on the 1930 edition.
This ringbarrow was extant when inspected in 1982. It consisted of a central platform (9m N–S; 9m E–W) enclosed by a rush-grown, water-logged fosse with a broad, low external bank (Wth c. 4m). The central platform appeared to be at a lower level that the surrounding field level, and was somewhat irregular in plan as a result of disturbance to the S side. The overall diameter was 23m N−S by 23m E−W (crest to crest of bank). (SMR file: OPW field notes 1982).
The ringbarrow was levelled during land reclamation later in the 1980's. When inspection in 2000, the outline of the central platform and the enclosing fosse could be discerned as slight surface undulations.
