Probably unexcavated it was not discovered by Victorian and even later archaeologists until 1967 when, relying at first on local folklore, it was found by the renowned Mrs E M Clifford. It was later confirmed by T C Darvill and L V Grinsell in their Gloucestershire Barrows supplement for the Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 1989 Vol 107 p70. It first appeared on OS maps in 1990.
Its diameter is about 20m and it stands about 0.75m high.
When planting the community wood the Forestry (Commission) Authority were careful not to disturb the barrow; the barrow sleeps peacefully tended by deer hares and rabbits whilst the world rushes by on the A417 dual carriageway (in a cutting) about 400m to the south. A nice spot on the boundary of the Badgeworth and Brockworth parishes. There is a superb Tithe Barn in Brockworth and a Roman Villa in Great Witcombe close-by.
