The cairn survives as an oval ring of upright stones, many of them poking through a rubble bank. The inside measures 10.7 m north to south by 8.7 m east to west, and the bank round it is up to 1 m wide and 0.6 m high. It sits on a gentle west-facing slope of Lee Moor, looking down into the valley of Spanish Lake. Other monuments close by are scheduled separately.
