The monument includes a bowl barrow set below the crest of a hill on a north facing slope above a tributary of the River Windrush. The barrow has a mound which measures 16m in diameter and is c.1.5m high. Surrounding the mound is a ditch from which material was quarried during its construction. This has become infilled over the years and can no longer be seen at ground level, but it survives as a buried feature c.3m wide.
