A large Bronze Age bowl barrow, close to Offa's Dyke, in a field just off the B4385 on the road between Montgomery and Church Stoke.
The earthwork survives to a considerable height, but there is no trace of the three concentric ditches that once surrounded the barrow. Due to ploughing, these are now only visible as crop marks.
The barrow itself is not accessible, but it is clearly visible from the road, a layby fortuitously sits on the opposite side of the road, and would also probably be visible from the Offa's Dyke footpath close by.
