This barrow is in very good condition and is well maintained by the landowner, who for insurance purposes doesn't normally allow access to the site.

When viewed from the road it appears to be massive, but this is because it is built on the top of a spur of land that projects from the ridge behind it. The mound is stepped with the lower layer 1.5m high and 20m in diameter. The upper level is 1.5m high and about 8m in diameter.
