The barrow takes the form of a simple earthen mound with a circular plan, characteristic of the bowl barrow type that predominated during the Bronze Age period. Such monuments typically functioned as burial mounds, often containing cremated or inhumed remains within a central grave or pit, frequently accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status of the deceased.
