The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on N-facing slope overlooking the Camoge River 330m to N and 250m NE of a standing stone (LI032-069----). The barrow is not depicted on historic OSi maps but is visible on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-12. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 202; AP 4/3639) as a circular ring–barrow (ext. diam. c. 38m) defined by a fosse. The N side of the barrow is 3m from an E-W field boundary and the E side of the monument is 7m from a NE-SW field boundary. The site is visible on Google Earth orthoimages taken 05/04/2006 and 28/06/2018.
