The area around has high trees and the grave is situated in an opening in the forest.
The stone slabs making up the walls and floor and one of the slabs lying on top as a roof are preserved. The grave has been longer, but some of the stone slabs were missing.
Even though no findings are known from the grave itself, the area around is known for several findings of neolithic stone artifacts. From Spydeberg are known 4 flint knifes, a sickle and 16 stone axes, one of them was found close to the Hylli grave.
