24m diameter, 20cm high, cut by road on northeast barely visible in fallow field.
Possibly a mound of similar dimension to south though this could be merely undulation in field.
A. J. Lawson (NAU) 16 March 1976.

Field under crop, mound invisible.
E. Rose (NAU) 24 June 1982.

August 1983.
Site completely obliterated except for slight rise in roadside bank.
J. Wymer (NAU)

It is not surprising that the mound is invisible as the barrow was destroyed by the No.4 North Sea Gas Main, as shown on the 1973 vertical OS air photograph, (S1). What Lawson saw must have been one of the natural undulations in the field according to H. Bamford (HBMC).
