The monument comprises the remains of a round barrow, which probably date to the Bronze Age (c. 2300 - 800 BC). The monument is c.30m across and 1m high, apparently much spread by ploughing. A depression in the centre suggests old excavation. The mound appears to be entirely of earth and turf.
The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of prehistoric burial and ritual practices. The features are an important relic of a prehistoric funerary and ritual landscape and retain significant archaeological potential. There is a strong probability of the presence of both intact ritual and burial deposits, together with environmental and structural evidence. Barrows may be part of a larger cluster of monuments and their importance can be further enhanced by their group value.
The scheduled area comprises the remains described and areas around them within which related evidence may be expected to survive.
