(NH 7187 6113) This is a long grass-covered mound with rounded ends, resembling a long cairn in some respects, but which Miss Henshall considers more likely to be natural than artificial.
It measures 264' long NE-SW, by 95' wide, and stands to an average height of 12' although the NE end is a little higher.
