The National Monuments Service's description
On a long, gentle, S-facing slope. The northern 'outlier' (5m off-line to the NW) of a linear group of nine possible barrows (KD022-090---- to KD022-098----) with a second 'outlier' (KD022-099----) at the S end. Visible on an aerial photograph (DoD 1999). A very small, and very slightly raised, circular area (diam. 3.1m; H 0.10m) is defined by a low, penannular earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.10-0.15m; ext. H 0.2m), with a gap (Wth 2.2m) at SW.
