The monument comprises the remains of a barrow of prehistoric date surviving as a low mound in an arable field.
The barrow lies on undulating ground in arable farmland at around 115m OD. It comprises the remains of a barrow some 22m in diameter by 1.1m high. The barrow has been somewhat reduced by ploughing but may still be expected to contain evidence for burial and associated ritual practices of the later Neolithic or of the Bronze Age.
The area to be scheduled encompasses the visible remains and an area around them in which traces of associated activity may be expected to survive. It is a circle with a diameter of 30m, lacking a chord on the SSE side, as marked in red on the accompanying map.
