Listed by Historic England entry 1009314 with the following description-
The monument includes a bowl barrow located on a plateau 50m south of Swynnerton cricket ground. It survives as a slightly oval earth and stone mound up to 2.5m high with maximum dimensions of 33m by 32m. The barrow's centre has been partly mutilated by the digging of two small pits up to 0.4m deep. This limited investigation was not recorded. In 1990 an Anglo-Saxon pendant and a copper alloy disc were found on the site.
Site is visible from the road, no access to field. It is on the edge of the village, a short walk from the village pub.
