This monument was visited four times between 07/05/2005 and 27/09/2014 as part of a programme of scheduled monument monitoring undertaken by Peak District National Park. It is described as lying in an area of managed, mixed coniferous and deciduous woodland, to the west of a path in a wide 'ride'. On 07/05/2005 a mature beech tree is observed to be growing from the centre of the mound and it is thought likely that the roots will have penetrated the barrow. For the three subsequent visits to the monument on 08/03/2008, 11/06/2011 and 27/09/2014, the situation is described as unchanged.
