The National Monuments Service's description
In level grassland, c. 110m to the SE of a ring-barrow (GA114-130----). A NW-SE running field boundary clips the monument at SW. This densely overgrown circular area (diam. 38.3m) is defined by a fosse and traces of a possible external earthen bank. The interior is lower than the surrounding field level. Other ring-barrows (GA114-130----, GA114-134---- and GA114-135----) lie c. 80m to the NNE, c. 260m to the WSW and c. 355m to the SSW respectively.
