The monument includes a prehistoric round cairn situated in open moorland on a north and east facing slope of Luccombe Hill. The cairn forms an outlying member of a round cairn cemetery, the centre of which is located approximately 600m upslope to the south west situated on the eastern summit of Dunkery Hill and forms the subject of a separate scheduling. The cairn survives as a near-circular earth and stone mound with a diameter of 15m and a height of 0.6m. It has a modern stone heap placed in the centre.
