The monument includes a bowl barrow set on the floor of a dry valley in an area of gently undulating chalk downland. The barrow mound is 35m in diameter and stands to a height of 2m. A ditch, from which material was quarried during construction of the monument, surrounds the barrow mound. This has been partly infilled over the years but survives as an earthwork 3m wide and up to 0.5m deep. The monument is an outlier to a wider barrow cemetery, the core of which is some 350m to the east.
