1. Square barrow; internal ditched enclosure 24m x 21m, outer enclosure c.30m square. Adjacent to rutted road line. CUCAP AJF 27 shows E corner bank & ditch continuous. See NPRN 89418 for sources.
2. Barrow, as above, which has been dug into and it has been suggested that it is a robbed tomb.
On the north-west a second barrow, about 6.0m in diameter, lies within an abutting rectangular enclosure, 12m across.
Source: Gresham 1938 (AC93), 192-211 [209].
3. The ditched enclosure about the large barrow overlies the road (NPRN 89468). This suggests that the barrow is a relatively late feature.
