The National Monuments Service's description
On low-lying ready wet pasture, cut by land drains and watercourses. Ring-barrow (LI023-181----) lies 10m to NW. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified as a circular-shaped ring-barrow (ext. diam. c. 12m) by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 24602: AP 4/3689). The site of the ring-barrow survives as a dry grassy area within reeds with a relic field boundary (orientated NNE/SSW) or drain cut through the E side of the monument. Monument is not visible on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-2013 or on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.
