Three bowl + one bell barrow on the crest of a rocky promontory. Closely spaced with their outer ditches touching one another. The bell barrow lies on the n side of the group. This survives as a central cairn off small stones 32m in diam, up to 1m high; surrounding berm between 4m and 11m wide falls up to 0.7m into the ditch, which is 7m wide and 0.2-0.4m deep. The outer ditch + berm have been disturbed on sw side by construction of a bowl barrow comprising a mound of small stones + earth, 26m diam and up to 1m high with ditch 5m wide, up to 0.2m deep. To s, its outer ditch touches that of a second bowl barrow, whose stony mound is 20m in diam, up to 0.5m high. This has been robbed, resulting in uneven surface.
