The length of the mound is about 30 meters, the width is about 15 meters at the southeast tip, and the height is about 3 meters. [2] Inside the mound there is a gallery of approx. 12.8 m, with three pairs of side chambers and one end camera. Petrified ammonites adorn the left side of the doorway.
During the excavations conducted by John Skinner in the years 1816-17, several people were found in the bones (some of them burned). [3] The restoration was carried out in 1858 by T. R. Joliff.
