The smaller barrow in a pair of barrows or burial mounds. The 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map shows a large mound with a smaller mound abutting its western side.


This smaller barrow measures about 5 metres in diameter and up to 0.5 metres high. It reportedly was opened in 1880 and Viking weapons were discovered within the mound. A note by Dr F.S. Tellet, of Ramsey states they were found 'in a flagged cist' in the barrow, and that a perforated stone disc was also found with them. The upper part of the blade of an iron sword, with a crescentic hilt guard is now kept in the Manx Museum Accession No. 1954-3741). The base of a socketed iron spearhead with wings on the socket also came from this barrow (kept in the Manx Museum Accession No. 1954-3742).


The larger barrow is recorded as having suffered damage by cattle erosion in the past, to the extent that it had to be fenced off for protection. This larger mound has been described as "a gorse covered mound which by its size and topographical situation - on a small hillock - is comparable to known Viking burial mounds… The top of the mound is eroding away. Height 2.5 m; Diameter 16.0 m."
