This is Historic England List Entry Number 1021255 and full details and description can be found there.
An extract of the entry reads the cairn "is situated on Middle Jurassic sandstone on the North York Moors. It occupies a prominent ridge-top position between Wheeldale Moor and Egton High Moor. The cairn has a well-defined sub-circular mound constructed from stone rubble, which measures up to 21m in diameter and stands up to 1.5m high. Partial excavation in the past has left a hollow in the centre of the mound. To the north of the centre there is a small modern walkers' cairn on the top of the mound. The cairn is one of a number in the area which lie on the central watershed of the North York Moors. It is surrounded by many other prehistoric monuments, particularly, those associated with burials."
