This is described as an "ancient Celtic Burial site" in a local walking book. Close to road but on private ground.
It is described in detail in "On Ancient British Roman and Saxon Antquities and Folklore of Worcestershire" by Jabez Allies, published in 1852 (available to download from Google books - well worth a look as it includes lots of other finds from Worcestershire). Allies visited the site in 1840s and the book includes a plan of the hill.
