A round barrow, probably a bowl barrow as described by authority 2, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs centred on circa TM 75324561, Brendon parish. On the available aerial photographs the earthwork appears slightly ovoid in shape but is on average 8 metres in diameter; the variation in size from that noted by authority 4 is probably due to the barrow being partially obscured by vegetation.
