The tomb consists of an oval mound, about 12m by 9m, and still up to 1.5m in height. Many of the kerbstones around the edge of the mound still remain. There is a 3.5 metre long passage within the mound, 1.2 metres wide and opening to the south east, on top of which only 2 capstones still remain.
There was also a later cist in the mound, within which was found a large, intact bronze age urn and cremated bones. The entire cist and finds is now to be found in the British Museum.
The overgrown mound can clearly be seen in the field at the opposite side of the little valley when walking up the trackway to the Tregeseal Stone Circle. It looks possible to get to it along a little track than across the field, but I didn’t really have the time to spend here.
