This is a mound 40 metres long and 0.7 metres high with faint
traces of a ditch on its northern side and the remains of
surface quarrying on its southern side. It is probably, but not
certainly, a long barrow.
The probable bowl barrow (ST 54 NE 35) at the east end of the
mound may originally have been part of the long mound as there
are traces of an old trackway between the two mounds.
Surveyed at 1/2500. (See ST 54 NE 37). (3)
