A Bronze Age round barrow, completley excavated in the 19th. Century. What remains is a deep pit about 12' across, surrounded by a steep bank 3' high and 35' in diameter. Lying in the bottom of the pit are some stoney remains from the excavation. What remains now is actually the inversion of a barrow. It is a curious but impressive site. No evidence of the cyst remains and the remains were removed and later lost.
