Full Description
A long barrow, composed mainly of earth with ends rounded, sits on Pole Hill. The long axis of the barrow is north-south. It is higher at the north and has a very thin tail visible. The west side 0.61 m higher than east side. The mound appears as an irregular oval, quite small in comparison with others of the series. There are a number of irregular holes in the surface caused by animal burrowing.
