I have found no other record of this probable barrow. The location is first rate being on top of a drumlin with views across much of the north of Morecambe Bay. (In the summer of 2016 a previously unidentified complete barrow was excavated on top of another drumlin outside a nearby village).
I recommend visitors park near to 54.126701, -2.785876 and follow the public footpath eastward before turning north and straight up through the long narrow north-south field.
You will notice the very large mainly limestone rocks which form many of the quite possibly Iron Age field boundaries on the hill.
