Much of the surface of the monument is composed of small pieces of limestone but beneath this layer are larger blocks of the same material. There is an irregularly shaped hollow in the centre of the mound.
The surface of the cairn has been disturbed by the construction of a early 20thC cairn in the middle of the monument.
