  -> The monument includes the earthwork and buried remains of a Bronze Age bowl barrow situated on level ground at the top of a west-facing slope, above a watercourse known as the Camlad. From the top of this rise the ground also slopes gently to the north. There are extensive views of the surrounding countryside from the monument, and to the west the barrow is overlooked by Roveries Hill Camp, an Iron Age hillfort, which is the subject of a separate scheduling. ->
  
  -> The barrow mound is of earth and stone construction. It is about 19m in diameter and survives to a height of 1m. Although no longer visible at ground level, a ditch from which material was quarried during the construction of the barrow, surrounds the mound. This has become infilled over the years but survives as a buried feature approximately 3m wide <3>
