The monument survives as a dome-shaped earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary monument type of the Bronze Age period. Like other barrows of its type, it would have originally contained an inhumed burial or cremation deposits, though such evidence may no longer be visible or may have been disturbed in antiquity.
