The National Monuments Service's description

Immediately W of a field boundary which runs NE-SW, in generally flat wet terrain, in a reclaimed field under pasture. Within a linear barrow cemetery (L c. 130m) which runs NE-SW. This monument was identified as a circular feature on Google Earth aerial imagery (Imagery Date: 2/20/2009). There is no visible trace of this monument above ground. There are a number of field drains in this specific area which may be creating the false impression of monument on the aerial. However, it has been classified as a ring-barrow possible based on its appearance on the Google aerial and its close proximity to a ring-barrow cemetery. Ring-barrows in the cemetery include TS065-073001-; TS065-073002-; TS065-073003-; TS065-073004- which lie 124m, 111m, 95m and 66m to the SW respectively, TS065-073005- which lies 27m to the NW and TS065-073006- which lies 29m to the SSW.
