A barrow is a burial mound, raised by hand from the earth and stone available nearby, and this one measures roughly 8.5 metres north to south and 7.5 metres east to west. It is a modest thing in scale, but its position on a pronounced natural ridge gives it an elevated presence in the landscape that seems unlikely to be accidental.

What survives is a raised circular platform, its edge defined by a low scarp between 0.7 and 0.9 metres in height, with large stones breaking through the turf at intervals around its perimeter. These exposed stones hint at a more substantial kerb or revetment buried just beneath the surface. Unusually, there is no fosse, the surrounding ditch that typically accompanies earthen mounds of this kind, which may suggest a different construction tradition, or simply that time and soil creep have obscured it. The original entrance, if there ever was a formal one, is no longer recognisable. Without excavation it is impossible to say what lies beneath the raised area, whether a cist burial, a cremation deposit, or nothing recoverable at all.
