The earthworks of this barrow are clearly visible on the 0.5m resolution Lidar data (S2), suggesting a mound of approximately 33m in diameter [1]. The lidar data also suggests that an outer dictch may be present, but the evidence is inconclusive. This barrow, along with NHER 11278, NHER 25487, and NHER 61571, form a probable barrow cemetery (NHER 62104), which is itself located in close proximity to numerous other barrows, forming a dispersed cemetery landscape group (NHER 61484) in this area.
