The National Monuments Service's description
In wet terrain, on a gentle S-facing slope, in pasture. There are three ditch barrows (TS066-182001-; TS066-182002-; TS066-182003-) lying c. 107m, 112m and 137m to the NE respectively, a ring-barrow (TS066-073----) and a ditch barrow (TS066-073----) lying c. 247m and 220m to the ESE respectively and a ring-barrow (TS066-074----) lying c. 278m to the SE. Monument identified on Google Earth aerial imagery (Imagery Date: 2/20/2009) as a circular ring-ditch, c. 6m in diameter. It is likely that this is a ditch barrow given its proximity to other barrows. There are a lot of drainage channels in this field. There is no visible trace of the monument above ground.
