The National Monuments Service's description
On a shelf on a S-facing slope, in rough pasture, overlooking a valley. A circular ring-barrow defined by a slightly domed central platform (18.7m E-W; 18.5m N-S; H 0.1-0.3m; max. est. H 0.6m), an intervening fosse (Wth 1.2-1.6m) that is overgrown with rushes and an outer bank (Wth 3-3.5m, int. H 0.1-0.3m, ext. H 0.05-0.1m). Drains cut across the bank at SSE and WNW, and a field wall adjoins it at ENE. The monument is clearly visible on OSi Ortho_ITM (2005) aerial imagery.
