Located on the summit of a hill in a low-lying landscape. A standing stone (WA031-075----/WA031-076----) is located c. 110m to the SW. Flat-topped, grass-covered and subcircular earthen mound (dims. of top 13.5m N-S; 8m E-W; dims. of base 39m N-S; 35m E-W; H 5.5-7m), with slight traces of a fosse (max. Wth c. 15m) SW-NW that might be curtailed elsewhere by a masonry wall 4-7m from the base of the mound. It may be a barrow, although some medieval pottery was recovered in the surrounding area (Tracey 1983a).
