No internal wall-face is evident, but from SE to W there is part of an outer wall-face comprising a single course of large boulders (H 0.55m).

Two shallow depressions (Wth 2-3m) either side of the entrance suggest a fosse. There is an entrance causeway to the E (Wth 1.9-2.9m) flanked internally by a line of stones. The interior of the monument slopes gently down to the E. The interior is scattered with stone and has a telegraph pole.
