Summary : A turf-covered stony cairn 9.0m N to S by 8.8m remaining 0.7m high. The flat top of the mound possesses three small, amorphous holes, the results of unrecorded excavations. The Bronze Age cairn, recorded by previous authorities, is visible as an earthwork on 2021 Historic England orthomosaic aerial photography and visualisations of a Digital Elevation Model derived from the orthomosaic.
