Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1012273) describes a cairn immediately south of the Eylesbarrow reave. It is a grassy mound 12.5 metres across and 0.4 metres high, with a hollow in the middle that suggests it has been partly disturbed in the past. It lies within a few hundred metres of a stone row, other cairns and an enclosure. It lies in the parish of Sheepstor, about 1.2 km north-west of Legis Tor and 1.6 km south of Sheepstor.
