Pitched (gable-fronted) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, cut-limestone coping to gables, and cut-limestone eaves. Ivy-clad unpainted roughcast walls with cut-limestone rectangular panel having cut-limestone surround, and round recess to gable having square-headed slit-style flanking apertures. Set back from road in grounds shared with Burnchurch Church.
A modest-scale mausoleum in a pared-down Classical style contributing to the setting of Burnchurch Church. The mausoleum remains of particular additional importance for the connections with the Flood family of nearby Farmley (12402302/KK-23-02) including Henry Flood (1732-91), statesman.
