The National Monuments Service's description

Located on the northern slope of a saddle-backed ridge under pasture, c. 52m north-east and slightly downslope of barrow (DU004-012001-). A circular flat-topped mound (diam. 12.5m; H 2m). The top of the mound at N has been damaged and eroded by livestock. Considered to be one of the largest of the possible barrows in an extensive cemetery (Keeling 1983, 70, Site V). Overgrown with gorse and extensive rabbit burrowing.
