The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on a ridge aligned E-W with excellent views in all directions. Hachured on the 1840 OS 6-inch map. A ring-barrow (diam. 8.5m) defined by an earthen scarp (H 0.35-1.1m) surviving from NE to NW and truncated to the N by a field boundary. The outer edge is difficult to distinguish from the natural hillslope. The interior (diam. 5m) is slightly dished (D 0.25m).
