The National Monuments Service's description
In improved level pasture. Sub-circular/penannular area (dims. 9m NE-SW; 10m NW-SE) and open (Wth 7.75m) to N-NE. Defined by fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.1m) NE-S-N, by a small depression N-NNE and undefined NNE-NE. Interior 0.05m higher than exterior ground level. Ground to NE disturbed, however may have been a smaller conjoined barrow. Not enough evidence visible on ground to support this. Two ditch barrows (TS066-081----; TS066-081003-) are located c. 40m and c. 34m to the NNE and SSW respectively. Visible on aerial photograph (ref. OS 2437/6) as pennanular enclosure.
