This site is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 247504, an extract from which reads: "The group stands on a ridge on Frensham Common.
'A' at SU 8532040795 is oval some 25.0m. E-W by 20.0m. transversely and up to 1.6m. in height.
'B' at SU 8534340666 is a bowl barrow some 30.0m. in overall diameter and up to 2.1m. in height.
'C' at SU 8533940637 is a bowl barrow 15.0m in diameter, mutilated on the E. side and up to 0.7m. in height.
'D' at SU 8533940622 is a bowl barrow 20.0m. in overall diameter but mutilated on the E. side and up to 0.7m in height.
The group is in poor condition, but fragments of ditch remaining around the barrows 'B' and 'D' suggests that the group 'B', 'C' and 'D' was originally surrounded by an enclosure ditch.
