The National Monuments Service's description
On a low rise in pastureland with wide views, in an area partly covered by hazel thickets. Listed as ‘Burial mound’ in the RMP (1996), on the basis of a 1994 map annotation (‘small burial mound’) by Tom Coffey (SMR file). This small circular cairn (diam. 10m; H 1-1.4m) has a flat top (4.3m E-W; 4m N-S) on which stones are visible. The sides are grass-covered, and the SW and W edges appear to be slightly damaged.
