The National Monuments Service's description

At the crest of an E-facing slope in a field of reclaimed pasture. Listed as 'Burial Ground' in the RMP (1996). A rectangular grass-covered stoney area defined by scarps (dims. at top of scarp 18.3m E-W; 14.5m N-S; dims. at base 19.8m E-W; 16.1m N-S; H 0.2-0.3m) with some stones protruding through it. Lines of adjacent stones at the W end of the N side (L 4m) and the N end of the W side (L 2.2m) suggest that it may have been a walled area.
