Monument surveyed in 2015 and described by McGuinness (2015, 49) as following: ‘Roughly circular, dome-shaped mound (Diam. 7.7m N-S x 7.0m E-W) with flattened apex that is approximately level, located on summit of NW-SE ridge which falls away to SE, such that NW side of barrow is much lower (H. 0.45m) and less massive than SE side (H. 0.85m). Stumps of trees were observed on the surface of the mound by an ASI fieldworker on 17/5/83. The same account tentatively identifies this monument as a ‘small bowl barrow’ [SMR file], but, although the site was covered in thick grass when the present survey-team examined it, the absence of any clear evidence for a ditch must, at the level of surface inspection, render it a mound-barrow. In addition to slope of upper surface of ridge on which barrow is sited (see above), land drops away sharply on either side of ridge to NE and SW; but for trees, visibility would be best to S’.
