Very easy to find just off track to Westwood Farm but a trifle disappointing when you get there. Orientated SW to NE, heavily ravaged in the past and little care since. Brambles make investigation difficult but there are a few large stones underfoot and in places (particularly on N side) inner stones are exposed, nice setting though. There is a bowl barrow to NNE about 300m away but access with other than telephoto lens virtually impossible without crop damage - waiting for harvest before revisit.
