The National Monuments Service's description
At the E end of an E-W running ridge in boggy rough pasture, with wide views except to WNW. A small, subcircular area (12m E-W; 11m N-S) is defined by a broad, low earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 0.25-0.4m). There are slight undulations near the N edge of the rush-covered interior, which is otherwise featureless apart from several loose-lying stones. Two barrows are visible nearby; CL008-116---- c. 160m to the NW and CL008-117---- c. 135m to the WSW.
