The National Monuments Service's description
All that survives of this levelled barrow is the semi-circular arc of a low earthen bank (H 0.3m), according to local information this barrow consisted of a circular area enclosed by a bank which was located beside an old mass-path. Site has been levelled and degraded due to extensive ploughing over the years as a result of the landscaping of the golf course that it is situated on.
