Description
Round bowl barrow standing on the highest point of a near flat hilltop, with panoramic view of surrounding hills (but not nearby valleys). One of a group of four in a rough north west- south east line. Approximately 20m diameter and 2m high, with some erosion on the south west side and by paths to south and north west. On the top is an oval hollow, possibly from its use as a beacon, and a concrete triangulation point (nprn 244170).
