This barrow stands on a drumlin some 540m SW of the ruins of Urchany farmsteading, within a moorland landscape characterised by the scattered remains of buildings, enclosures and relict cultivation. The barrow comprises a grass-grown central mound measuring about 9m in diameter by 1.5m in height and an enclosing ditch which is approximately 3m in breadth and is accompanied by an external bank 3.5m thick and 0.9m high. A causeway which crosses the ditch on the W side, linking the central mound with the outer bank, may be a later addition.
