The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle S-facing slope at the S end of a ridge in an area of poor boggy land. A slightly raised, roughly circular area (17m N-S; 18m E-W; 0.45-0.6m above surrounding ground level) surrounded by rushes. A circular central area (diam. 5m) is slightly higher than the rest and is heavily overgrown. It contains one upright gravemarker (max. H 0.4m) and two smaller ones. Some very low stone gravemarkers were noted under the grass cover through the remainder of the site.
