A low circular mound. Possibly spread with negligible slope on eas side. Approximately 17 metres in diameter, 0.3 metre to 0.5 metre in height. Located 32 metres to the south-west of a scheduled barrow (Monument 61), to the west of the modern trackway through the field.
To the north-west of Gorvin (to the north) is a pair of barrows. The larger has a smaller ancillary one immediately to the north. It is possible that this mound could be an ancillary barrow to Monument 61.
