In level wet pasture. Bowl-barrow (TS057-011----) located c. 40m to the SW. Circular area (diam. 4.1m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (Wth 0.4-0.65m; H 0.1m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.4-0.7m) and an external low broad earthen bank (int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.05-0.1m; Wth at top 1-1.3m; overall Wth 1.8-2.4m). From SE-SW the external bank is almost entirely absent where a silted up E-W orientated modern drain abuts the S side of the ring-barrow.
