The barrow is about 85 feet long and is 3 feet high at its northern end. No side ditches are visible. A stone cairn was found within the mound surrounded by a kerb of large stones.
"This hoard was found in a pit dug into the top of an oval cairn. The burial cairn, constructed of limestone rubble, was first opened by A.D. Conyngham in 1848. Surviving records suggest that the hoard was found with a burial. The surviving finds comprise three flint axes and a flint adze, five lozenge-shaped arrowheads, a polished flint knife and two flakes, an antler 'macehead' and two boar-tusk blades."
