This is a wonderful site, the barrow sits on top of a hill with fantastic views all around but especially to the south.
It was excavated by the late great Frank Elgee in 1937 and was found to have a kerb of upright stones surrounding a central clear area. This area held part of a coffin and a canoe, the coffin lid being canoe-shaped, all being made from oak trunks. The coffin contained a body, three flints and a bronze dagger.
A secondary burial was found lower down the mound and it contained a funerary urn with bronze dagger, a bronze pin and a stone axe.
