TheCaptain visited on 13th Apr 2004 - their rating: Cond: 1 This long barrow has been completely ploughed over, leaving only slight traces of it as a gentle raise in the ground level
The long barrow was the subject of an "excavation" in about 1844, and three lateral chambers were identified. There is nothing to be seen today.
