The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating, improved pasture, crowning the top of a low hillock, which provides extensive views, with the Ox Mountains dominating the skyline to E and SE.
This possible mound barrow is not shown on the 1837-8 and the 1922 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a low, degraded circular mound (10m N-S; 9m E-W), with a flattish top, defined by a slight scarp (H 0.3m), which is barely distinguishable from the natural slope. A slab (Wth at least 0.55m; T 0.1m) protruding from the top of the mound at NE. The mound is known in local tradition as an ancient gravesite. There is a ringbarrow (MA031-069----) 150m to SW.
