Several large stones are to be seen within the barrow, which look like they may once have made some sort of structure, but its difficult to tell after so many alterations.
To get to the hill, park by the cattle grid to the east of the hill and walk along the well used track for half a mile, and then follow paths to the north towards the top of the hill. There are magnificent views all around from up here on top of this hill, with many other Exmoor Peaks topped by their own barrows to be seen. This is a lovely place to see the sun go down.
