October 1995. Visit.
Mound is around 0.5m high and does not appear circular. East to west axis is around 15m, north to south axis around 10m from base of gentle slope, but thick brambles and bracken preclude detailed measurments, west side particularly difficult. Not convincing as a barrow despite proximity of NHER 6102 and NHER 6103 which are much more prominent. If so it is very degraded.
B. Cushion (NLA), October 1995.
