Surveyed in 2012 and described by McGuinness (2012, 38) as following: ‘Poorly preserved,low-‐relief, sub-circular bowl-barrow, comprising a domed central mound (Diam. 14m N-S x 12.5m E-W) surrounded by a poorly preserved ditch (practically invisible in NW quadrant) with an estimated overall diameter of 21.5m N-S x 19m E-W. Where best preserved at ESE side, ditch is roughly 2m in width, although it appears to be broader and more flattened out elsewhere; it reaches a maximum depth of 0.3m below and perpendicular to a line joining the mound to external ground level. Barrow lies on a kind of flattish ledge or low eminence 8m SW of, and slightly lower than, a platform-‐barrow (WM018-079----) in pastureland that slopes down to SW. Immediately S and SW of barrow, ground falls away sharply. Another possible prehistoric burial mound (WM018-081----) lies in field across road c. 50m to SW. Further upslope, on hilltop to NE, are three additional barrows (WM018-078----). All six sites form an approximately linear arrangement from NE to SW’.
