A great location being at the side of (pre?)-Roman Woldgate, at the highest point for a long way around, and close to due south of the ploughed out Argham Henge (across the Gypsey Race and the Great Wold Valley to the north), but dismal too in that so very much of this barrow has been destroyed by farmers. And continues to be. Other ploughed out barrows can still be discerned a little to the east.

"A Bronze Age round barrow still extant as an earthwork mound circa 32 metres in diameter and 1.5 metres high. In the 1870s Greenwell described it as "almost entirely removed many years ago, when bones are said to have been found in large quantities"."
