There are several kerb stones exposed on the N perimeter. The mound has a deep central hollow measuring c. 10 feet in diameter and 5 feet deep.
The third barrow, Rosenannon Downs S Barrow, located at SW 95516 67891, is c. 240 yards S of Rosenannon Downs N Barrow. This ruined barrow is only evident on close approach.
