Scheduled description:
The monument includes a bowl barrow which is one of a dispersed group of round barrows, sited on a broad ridge at the western edge of the Good Sands upland region of north west Norfolk. The barrow stands on the southern edge of the hill crest, above a slight, south facing slope and is visible as an earthen mound c.1.5m in height and covering a circular area c.30m in diameter. It is thought that the mound is encircled by a ditch from which earth was dug during the construction of the barrow. This ditch has become infilled and is no longer visible, but will survive as a buried feature.
The barrow group as a whole is aligned on a north west-south east axis over a distance of c.2.6km.
