A roughly circular mound with an average diameter of 17.0m and a height of 2.30m. The mound is steep sided with a fairly flat, irregular shaped top that has average measurements of 6.00m by 8.00m. There are no visible remains of a bailey or trace of a building on top of the mound and it does not resemble a barrow in its present state (Ordnance Survey record card: ST48NE 15, 1957). Excavation revealed a layer of builder's rubbish overlying clean yellow sand and natural rock. The mound had probabl y been used for sand extraction, and then converted into a garden feature (Probert 1968, 28). This site has been de-scheduled. (Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological TrustHER)
