This is a reasonably well-preserved longbarrow: largely surrounded by firing ranges I suppose it only has burrowing animals to worry about. It's unusual because it's ovoid in shape, according to its EH record. It aligns NNE/SSW, with its broader end towards the sunrise, and sits on the false crest of a steep east-facing slope so as to impress people below. Another unusual feature is that it has a little round barrow right on its southern side, so close that it impinges on its ditch. Another small round barrow lies 100m to the north west.
