Description

The site was visited by the RCHME in 1995. The western barrow was noted to have a possible excavation trench driven into the summit from the south, which had been exploited as an animal scrape. The easterly barrow had been extensively robbed and bisected by an irregular robbing trench running east to west. The surface of the barrow on the southern side was uneven and very disturbed.
