The mound was originally 10m high, but top surface was flattened in 1840. Excavations in the 1880's revealed the remains of burial chamber at the heart of the mound and the likelihood that the burial of 13 individuals were the reason for the construction of the mound itself. Criel also contained intrusive burials from a much later period.
