The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing pasture slope at the edge of an escarpment with steeply sloping ground immediately to the N. Hachured on the Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. A sub-circular mound (basal diams. 13m NW-SE; 12.5m NE-SW; surface diams. 6.5m NW-SE; 5.8m NE-SW; H 0.9-2.05m) is surrounded by a shallow fosse (Wth 2-3m; max. D 0.1m). There are two shallow depressions (max. D 0.1m) in the gently SW-sloping surface of the mound and the mound appears to be composed primarily of earth but with some stone visible.
