The National Monuments Service's description
On a low knoll in an area of elevated rocky grazing with commanding views from SW to NNE and within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL005-104001-). Noted by Tom Coffey in 1994 (SMR file). Listed as ‘Burial mound’ in the RMP (1996). On inspection in 1998 this was found to be a small prominent grass-covered cairn (8.4m NE-SW; 7m NW-SE; H 0.7-0.9m) with steep sides.
