On false crest of Callow Hill approaching from W and overlooking the village of Dilhorne. Tumulus totally overgrown by brambles at the time of visit. Approached via the churchyard of All Saints, Dilhorne.
Church is Norman with unusual octagonal tower. Then follow track from the cemetery up the hill. Tumulus is passed as one approaches the trig point at 253 m set in small wood, St. Thomas's Trees.
Excavated by A.R.Mountford in 1955 when a rock cut grave discovered. Previously excavated in early 20thC. Last excavated in 1960s by Potteries Museum archaeological society. Tumulus about 35 feet in diameter with a height of about 2 feet. Shallow ditch on N side. Central depression probably due to excavations. Ref The Modern Antiquarian.
