The National Monuments Service's description
Near the base of very slight NW-facing slope in gently undulating improved pasture. Circular slightly raised area (diam. 12.5m) defined by a gently sloping earthen scarped edge (Wth 3m; H 0.5-0.7m) with an external wide flat-bottomed fosse (overall Wth 3.2m; Wth at base 2 m; D 0.3m). An E-W orientated metalled farm track lies 2m to the N of the barrow. A slight ramp (Wth. 2m) across the scarped edge with a slight causeway across the fosse marks the position of the original entrance. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
