The earthworks of this barrow are clearly visible on the 0.5m resolution Lidar data (S2) [1]. The barrow mound is bisected by a modern track and a 2.5 wide ditch survives to the south of this track.
This barrow, along with NHER 4992, NHER 33455 and NHER 33457, form a small barrow cemetery (NHER 61495), which is itself located in close proximity to numerous other barrows, forming a dispersed cemetery landscape group (NHER 61484) in this area.
