It is constructed from Portland stone and features a single storey, circular plan topped with a domical roof that has an oculus. Surrounding the structure is a narrow external circulation corridor, which is enclosed by a "woven" stonework screen. The mausoleum is accessed through bronze doors and faces the south-eastern garden walk.
