The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight pasture rise in an area of wet, rushy ground, with wide views to SW. A small subcircular area (int. diams. 12.3m E-W; 10m N-S; ext. dims. 16.7m E-W; 13.6m N-S) is defined by a low bank (Wth 1.6-2m; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 0.3-0.4m). The perimeter has been damaged S-W-N. A N-S field bank abuts the E perimeter of the monument. There are entrance gaps at N (Wth 1.3m), S (Wth 1.2m) and WSW-W (Wth 3), some of which may be original. While the morphology is atypical, this may be the remains of a ringbarrow.
