The larger of 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.


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."


The 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, including part of a sword, part of a spearhead (PRN 0272.00).
