It does not look like a barrow and appears more likely to be of modern construction. (Appears in background of photographs AO/65/126/4 and 5; see MSO6251). [2] Listed as a bowl barrow, details as [1] and [2]. Visited by Grinsell Whitsun 1958.

The mound is 4.2 metres in diameter, 0.4 metres high and contains some stone. It is not a cairn and is most likely to be of recent origin.
