The monument is a grassy mound that is 7m in diameter at a height of 1.45m. The barrow has not been excavated.
Approximately 25m north of the barrow is a large cairn. It may be a clearance cairn but it appears to have been excavated in the centre. A large tree has fallen onto it.
On this occasion there was a bull in the field so a little caution was necessary.
