In pasture, on top of a low rise of ground or hillock in undulating countryside with good views in all directions. The field to the N has been reclaimed and re-seeded in grass while the perimeter of the barrow is overgrown and covered in thorn bushes. The adjoining fields to the SE and SW are under tillage. This possible stepped barrow (overall diam. 52m E-W) consists of a circular mound (H 0.5-0.8m; top diam 20m; base diam. 24m) enclosed by an inner fosse (top Wth 6.3m; base Wth 3.5m; ext. D 0.5m), berm (Wth 5m; H 0.5m), earthen bank and outer berm (Wth 10m). As the monument is heavily overgrown detailed examination was impossible. The interior has been used as a rubbish dump. A field bank runs across the centre of the barrow on a NW-SE axis. There is a quarry (D 1.5m; dims 6m x 7m) in the SE sector of the interior between the inner face of the bank and the mound, the inner fosse has been quarried away in the N quadrant. An entrance causeway gap (Wth 3m) at S, appears to have been augmented by nearby quarrying activities.
