What survives today fits the latter category: a barrow, which is a prehistoric funerary mound, though one that time and the surrounding plantation of deciduous and coniferous trees have reduced to something easy to walk past without noticing.

The mound is roughly circular, measuring about twenty metres across on its north-to-south axis and rising only around 0.4 metres above the surrounding ground, defined by a low scarp at its edge. That scarp, the slight step where the mound meets the level ground, is still readable from the north-east around to the south and west, but on other sides the earthwork has been largely levelled. At the centre, slightly to the north-north-west, there is a shallow circular depression about nine metres across. Depressions like this are common in barrows that have been disturbed, either by early antiquarian digging or by the kind of casual, opportunistic disturbance that accumulated over centuries. Whether this one held a burial chamber, a cist, or simply reflects later interference, the record does not say.
