This long barrow is oriented NW-SE, 50m long and up to 25m wide. Its official scheduling says that it is 0.6m in height, but this fact, along with its infilled ditches, make it another 'move along, nothing to see here' type of long barrow. Any close-up photograph of the barrow looks much the same as a photo of any old field. It is possible to make out a low bump from a distance.
The long barrow is associated with a number of Bronze Age round barrows on this hill overlooking the Frome valley, which form a loose barrow cemetery. These too are very slight, although scheduled as being of national importance. Excavation of the long barrow in 1881 revealed human remains and some flint implements.
Access The barrows lie on private land, and what can be seen of them is visible from the field gate where the lane crests the hill. Poundbury hillfort is only a mile away along the same lane and is much more interesting to visit.
