The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a very slight rise in gently undulating low-lying wet pasture with a ring-barrow (TS065-065003-) located c. 70m to the W and others nearby. Identified during field survey by Martin Doody. Circular area (diam. 4m) enclosed by a slight scarped edge (Wth 0.6m; H 0.15m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.4m: D 0.05m) and a low external earthen bank (overall Wth 2.2-2.9m; Wth at top 1m; ext H 0.1-0.4m). The berm (Wth 0.6m) and the second external bank (overall Wth 1.2m; Wth at top 0.6m; H 0.1m) link to the first external bank at SW and NW at being concentric with the external bank of the barrow SW-NW. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
