The mound is shaped like an earthen mound, with a squared egg-shaped plan measuring approximately 18m east to west, 27m north to south, and 3.3 to 4.5m high, making it one of the larger Lelang wooden coffin tombs. A wooden coffin was built into a rectangular pit about 2m deep, and partitions and supports were installed in the coffin chamber to create four compartments. In the largest inner coffin in the southeast, two wooden coffins were placed side by side from east to west, and the other small compartments surrounding that on the northwest side were filled with a large number of grave goods, after which a frame of square timber was constructed to form the ceiling, which was then covered with two layers of bricks, and finally earth was piled up.
