Located on top of high ground in upland region with good extensive views in all directions. Nearby cluster of ring-barrows (OF043-040/001/002) located approximately 300m to the SW. In pasture, land appears to have been reclaimed and re-seeded with grass, encroaching coniferous plantations near site on land which has not been reclaimed. Nearby barrows to SW have been planted with coniferous trees on wet unreclaimed land.
Present remains consist of low semi-circular shaped mound (diam. 6m N-S; 11m E-W, H 0.35m) enclosed by an inner fosse (Wth 3m;ext. D 0.2m) and low outer bank(Wth 2m; H 0.1m). Site has been transected on its S side by a field boundary running E-W which gives the mound a semi-circular shape, originally the barrow consisted of a circular mound aproximately 12m N-S by 11 m E-W enclosed by a fosse and outer bank. Faint traces of central mound on S half of site but no trace of enclosing fosse or bank on this side. Monument is best preserved on its N half from W through N to E as depicted on current edition of the OS 6-inch map.
