More information : SJ 78842384 A bowl barrow, 20.0m in average diameter
and 0.9m high. There are traces on the south and east of a
ditch, 2.0m wide and 0.1m deep. The mound is under grass and
has five trees upon it. There is the crater of an old, central
mutilation. The barrow occupies the summit of a small but
distinctive hill.
On OS 6" 1925, the name "The Roundabout" is applied either
to the hill or to the open wood upon it. No local evidence was
gained as to whether this name is applicable to the barrow. (1)

The barrow is also visible as an earthwork on air photographs centred at SJ 7885 2384. A depression in the centre of the barrow mound indicates probable previous excavation. The barrow was mapped as part of the Staffordshire National Mapping programme and is extant on the latest 2010 vertical photography. (6)
