The monument comprises a ploghed-down barrow of prehistoric date, visible as a cropmark on oblique aerial photographs.
The monument lies in arable farmland at around 130m OD. It comprises a single round barrow measuring about 22m in internal diameter, defined by a single ditch measuring about 2m in width. These monuments may be expected to contain evidence of burials. A small cropmark in the centre of the barrow marks the location of a central grave pit. Round barrows are characteristic of the Bronze Age.
The area proposed for scheduling comprises the remains described and an area around them within which related material may be expected to be found. It is circular with a diameter of 50m, as marked in red on the accompanying map extract.
