On an ENE-facing slope in low-lying pasture. A low, almost D-shaped, mound of earth and stone (dims. at base 9.3m ENE-WSW; 6.9m NNW-SSE; H 0.8m) with the straight side at SSE. It is enclosed by a wide, very low bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.2m; H 0.1m) from WSW-N-NNE. Elsewhere no visible surface trace of the bank survives. An embanked barrow (LF015-037001-) lies c. 5m to the S.Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan
