A barrow-cemetery consisting of seven barrows (WM007-014/016/017/018/015/015001-), six of the barrows are still visible with no surface remains visible of the seventh barrow. Monument surveyed in 2015 and described by McGuinness (2015, 59) as following: ‘Monument comprises a domed or inverted-bowl-shaped mound (Diam. 12.4m N-S x 11.7m E-W) with flattened summit, surrounded by a broad, flat-based circular ditch (Overall diam. 17.9m N-S x 16.7m E-W), now mostly silted up. At NNW, where best preserved, ditch drops 1.80m below summit of mound and 0.13m below external ground level; its range of width measurements is fairly tight: 2.80m (N), 2.8m (E), 2.70m (S), 2.2m (W). Where mound has been poached or otherwise eroded on SE side, it can be seen to comprise very stony soil’.
This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 2/1979).
