Situated in a belt of trees at the side of a minor road, Pastscape describes the barrow as being "well-preserved tree-covered bowl barrow; measuring 20.0m in diameter and up to 1.2m high. There is no visible ditch."

The site is covered in trees and undergrowth to the extent that it is difficult to see all of the barrow from any point. The barrow appears more elongated rather than strictly round, possibly having beeen dug into (and/or material removed) from the north western side.
The site is marked on Ordnance Survey 1:25k and 1:50k maps as a Tumulus.
