The monument consists of a bell-shaped mound characterised by a raised central burial area surrounded by a ditch, a diagnostic form that developed during the later Bronze Age period. Bell barrows of this type typically date from around 1500 to 1000 BC and represent a distinctive regional burial tradition in southern England.
