The monument comprises the remains of a burial cairn of prehistoric date.
The cairn lies on moorland at around 215m OD. It survives as a well-defined, grass-covered stony mound some 12m in diameter with a surviving height of approximately 0.5m. The cairn has slight indications of surface disturbance but it is likely that it will contain surviving remains, including burials, of Bronze Age date.
The area to be scheduled encompasses the cairn and an area around it in which traces of associated activity may be expected to survive. It is circular with a diameter of 60m, as marked in red on the accompanying map extract.

The monument is of national importance because of its potential to add to our understanding of prehistoric ritual and funerary practice. Its importance is enhanced by its proximity to other burial cairns, probably of similar date.
