Bowl barrow on a gentle slope on the west side of a shallow valley. The barrow is about 26metres in diameter and upto 2metres high, there are possible remains of the surrounding ditch on the northern side. In 1935 sherds of a Middle-Late Bronze Age urn containing fragments of burnt bone were found in a rabbit scrape, these finds are now held by Cheltenham Museum. Pastscape suggests that the urn and burnt bone may belong to a secondary cremation.
