The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture (drained in the 1880s), on a low rise just above an old water course. Identified during field survey by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly (26 November 2008). Another ditch barrow (TS066-174----) is located c. 21m to NW. A circular area (dims. 3.3m N-S; 3.5m E-W) defined by a very shallow, indistinct fosse (Wth 1.7m; D 0.1m). The interior slopes gently from the centre to the fosse all around.
