The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on the demesne lands of Derk House, located 420m to NW. Possible barrow (LI033-191001-) lies 200m to SW. Not depicted on historic OSi maps. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 80; AP 4/3626) as a ring-barrow. No surface remains visible on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12 or on Google Earth orthoimage dated 20/09/2020. Doubtful antiquity.
