Description
The monument, which includes a bowl barrow, is located on the north west edge of Gibson's Slip, 220m north west of Gate Lodge, in an area dominated by heathland. The barrow is visible as an earthen mound, stands to a height of approximately 0.8m, and is approximately 31m in diameter. It is thought that the mound is encircled by a ditch from which earth was quarried during the construction of the barrow, and although this has now become completely infilled and is no longer visible it will survive as a buried feature 3m wide. The fence on the south east side of the monument is excluded from the scheduling, although the ground beneath it is included.
