The Historic England List entry describes the site as comprising 3 Bowl Barrows, 700m East of Taylors Cross. 'situated on a ridge overlooking the Lamberal Water and the Upper Tamar Lake'.
It goes on to say: 'The barrows survive as circular mounds surrounded by buried quarry ditches, from which the construction material was derived. They are aligned in an east to west linear arrangement. The western barrow mound measures up to 20m in diameter and 0.5m high. The central mound is approximately 26m in diameter and 0.8m high. The eastern mound stands up to 24m in diameter and 0.9m high'.
