NT 7495 5595. A low mound, measurements as above, which does not appear to be of any great age. The field in which it is situated shows extensive rig-and-furrow.

This oval feature comprises a stony mound 5.0m by 4.0m and 0.5m high with, on its north side, the apparent footings of a small rectangular structure. The earth and stone bank is approximately 9.5m by 5.5m and 0.3m in height.
