  The monument includes the remains of a substantial bowl barrow situated in a prominent position on the top of a rounded hill. The barrow is visible as a well defined, circular stone and earth mound 20m in diameter and stands to a height of 1.6m above the surrounding natural land surface. The summit of the mound is disturbed by the remains of an old exploration, which has created a shallow crater 6m in diameter and 0.5m deep. Although no longer visible at ground level, a ditch, from which material was quarried during the construction of the monument, surrounds the mound. This has become infilled over the years but survives as a buried feature some 2m wide <5>
