The barrow is visible as an earthwork mound, circa 12 metres in diameter, on aerial photographs between 1946 and 2001. A possible external ditch is visible as a dark curvilinear cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 1992 and 2001 and both this and the mound are likely to survive as earthworks and below-ground remains. Two nearby barrows (MDV7334 and MDV7335) are not visible on the available aerial photographs, but all three may be associated with four ploughed out barrows visible as cropmarks to the north-east (MDV103149).
