Set in an agricultural field on the edge of rolling heath land on the outskirts of Kesgrave, this barrow sits at the top of a low ridge with classic Suffolk views to the the North.
Although close to the old A12 and nearly bordering Kesgrave High School, it feels quite isolated and untouched- apart from the rabbit burrows.
It has an average diameter of 25.0 m.. and a height of 1.3 m.
is bracken-covered and has some fir trees growing upon it.
There is no visible ditch.
