"The barrow has an earth and stone mound which stands up to 1.1 metre high. It is oval in shape and measures 18 metres east to west by 13 metres north to south. The top of the mound is flat and there is a hollow to the west of the centre which was caused by part excavation in 1918 by W Hornsby and JD Laverick. This excavation uncovered a cremation and an inhumation associated with several sherds of 'Anglian' pottery. The excavation also revealed a platform of sandstone slabs close to the surface and an stump of an oak post, which the excavators interpreted as the site of a later gallows. The round barrow is visible as an earthwork on air photographs. Scheduled."
