Feature not located in 2007 but lies in an area of dense gorse and bracken circa 0.6 metre high so appears to be under no threat from foot traffic.

Be aware of potential features during vegetation clearance and avoid damage to them.

Could include in interpretation as one of a group of barrows in this area.
