The barrow is oval in plan, a distinctive morphological type that distinguishes it from the more common round barrows of the Bronze Age, and represents burial practices of the earlier Neolithic period. The monument survives as an earthwork and has been identified as a significant example of Neolithic collective burial architecture in the East Midlands region. Its designation on the National Heritage List reflects its archaeological importance as evidence of early agricultural communities and their mortuary customs.
