The eastern end of the barrow stands some c. 2.5m above the present ground level to the north and over 4.5m above the present ground level to the south and at the base of the terrace. The western end of the barrow stands c. 1.6m above the present ground level to the north, and 3.8m to the south, at the base of the terrace. The base of the terrace to the west of the mound is 2.4m beneath its western summit. The cover of the mound is predominantly grass, moss and bracken, forest debris and rosebay willow-herb. Tree stumps are present every few metres along the entire length and sides of the mound.
Rabbit burrows and uprooted tree-holes are present all over the mound.
The cause of this deflation, however, does not appear to be as a result of external forces such as forest traffic and may represent the subsidence of some internal structure present within the mound, perhaps a mortuary structure similar to that identified at Dalladies. No external stones or structural components are visible within the mound material. There are no surface indications of external ditches running parallel to the barrow as evidenced at Dalladies. A low mound exists immediately to the east of the long barrow, situated on the edge of the same terrace. Where it survives intact the profile of the bank is generally consistent, comprising a flat-topped bank c. 1.6m wide on its summit with a vertical external face and steeply sloping internal face.
