This is a large quite impressive barrow around 45m in diameter and around 2m in height, with maybe traces of a wide ditch.
Just off the A515, although not visible from it, access is by way of one of two paths close to Boars Low, one being to the north and another to the east.

Bateman dug here in the 1840's finding Bronze Age flints and pottery sherds.
