Surveyed in 2012 and described by McGuinness (2012, 40) as following: ‘Subcircular, approximately flat-topped earthen mound (dims. 4.5 N-S x 6.1 E-W), on summit of low hill 20m to WSW of ring-barrow (WM018-085001-) and site of OS benchmark on older editions of OS 6" map. S side of mound has been heavily eroded by cattle in recent times, so that it currently has a D-shape, and difference between N-S and E-W diameters—over 1.5m—suggests than a substantial piece of the mound may have been removed. The curve of the mound suggests an original N-S diameter of up to 6.5m. Projecting from eroded S side is the end of a flat, horizontal slab 0.23m in width. Height of mound on intact sides is up to 0.66m. Mound appears to linked by scarps to nearby ring-barrow (WM018-085001-).
