The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a short gentle SE-facing slope overlooking an area of old drainage channels. Identified during field survey by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly (26 November 2008). There is a farm trackway c. 13m to N. Another ditch barrow (TS066-175----) is located c. 21m to SE. A circular area (dims. 6.2m N-S; 6.0m E-W) defined by a very shallow and indistinct fosse (Wth 2.4m; D 0.15m). The fosse has eroded SW-W-NW due to slight poaching by cattle. The interior is generally level and falls gently around the perimeter to the fosse.
