Situated at the crest of the N-facing slope of a broad hill in an undulating landscape. This is a circular grass-covered mound (diam. of base 14.5m N-S; H 0.6m at S to 3m at N) with a slight fosse (at S: Wth of top 8m; Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.3m) at S that morphs in to a scarp (at N: H 1m) at the base of the mound W-N-E. The barrow (ME015-049002-) is c. 40m to the ESE.
