The monument comprises a cairn of prehistoric date, visible as a stony mound.
The monument lies in pasture at around 145m OD. It comprises a cairn which probably measures about 16m in diameter. It has been enveloped by a large heap of field-cleared stones so that the mound measures about 25m NW-SE by about 16m transversely, by up to 1.4m in height. The monument is a burial mound of a type characteristic of the Bronze Age.
The area proposed for scheduling comprises the remains described and an area around them within which related material may be expected to be found. It is circular with a diameter of 45m, as marked in red on the accompanying map extract.
