The barrow and cairn at Whimble are part of a group of features, much obscurred by/resulting from, extensive quarrying on the summit of the Whimble, an isolated steep-sided hill (see Nprn401557).

The barrow, 19m in diameter and 1.2m high, is set upon Wimble, a conical hill, and has a more recent cairn, 11m in diameter and 0.6m high, superimposed upon it.
