The National Monuments Service's description
In grazing pasture, located on a rise in undulating terrain.
This possible barrow is not shown on any edition of the OS maps. The remains consist of a low, circular platform (diam. 6m; H 0.3-0.4m) with a hint of a raised outer rim. It appears to be primarily earthen in composition. A single hawthorn bush grows at the SSE edge of the platform, at the base of which is a concentration of small, angular stones, most likely field clearance.
An embanked barrow (MA092-005----) located c. 250m to W is visible from this site, and c. 300m to NNW there is a ringbarrow (MA092-006----).
