Round barrow cemetery consisting of 9 individual barrows, situated on an upland ridge overlooking the valleys of the Colam Stream and the River Caen. The 9 barrows survive as circular mounds which vary in diameter from 15.2 metres up to 27.4 metres, and in height from 0.4 metres up to 1.2 metres. In all cases the surrounding quarry ditches, from which material to construct each mound was derived, survive as buried features measuring approximately 3 metres wide. The south-eastern mound has been cut by a field entrance on its north-east side and by the roadside hedge on its north-west side, and is essentially part of a field boundary. Other details: Monument.
