The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating low-lying wet pasture with a ring-barrow (TS065-024005-) abutting the edge of the barrow at NE with others nearby. Identified on aerial photograph (Ordnance Survey 2430/29). Circular area (diam. 4m) enclosed by a scarped edge (Wth 0.8m; H 0.1m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.4m) and a barely visible external earthen bank (overall Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.1m). The external bank is incorporated into the external bank of an almost identical ring-barrow (TS065-024005-) NW-NE. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
