Description

The monument includes a bowl barrow, situated on the edge of a belt of rough ground on Thorpeness Golf Course and visible as an earthen mound which covers a circular area with a maximum diameter of 27m. It stands to a height of 1.1m at the centre but appears flatter on the north-western side, where it is c.0.4m in height. Approximately 15% of the area of the mound is occupied by a sand bunker which has been dug into the south-eastern side of the barrow. The upcast from this excavation forms a crescent-shaped ridge, c.0.4m in height, on the north-western lip of the bunker, augmenting the mound at this point to a total height of c.1.5m.
