It forms the easternmost element of a linear round barrow cemetery, NHER 9549, under which record all previous information concerning the site is held (the barrow was formerly recorded as context 1). As mapped by the NMP, the barrow measures approximately 41.5m in diameter, and comprises an incomplete, roughly circular ring ditch, enclosing a roughly circular mound and narrow berm.
