The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 12m) defined by a fosse, visible on satellite imagery (© Google Earth, imagery date 18 November 2020), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The size of the enclosure and the high concentration of barrows in the surrounding area would suggest that this is a barrow. It overlays, or is conjoined with, another ditch barrow (TS065-080----) which is visible (dims. c. 5m) projecting eastward from the E side of the enclosure. A ringfort (TS065-070----) is located c. 130m to the E.
