The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the gentle S-facing slope of a coastal ridge in a boggy area used for grazing with good views E to NW. The poorly preserved remains of a ring-barrow comprising an almost circular area (17.6m N-S; 21.2m E-W) with a central flat mound (12.5m N-S; 14m E-W) a fosse (Wth 1m) and an outer bank (Wth 3m). The outer bank is reduced to a scarp at W (H 0.5m) and is damaged at N and SW where there are trackways. There is an entrance (Wth 2.4m) at W. Another ring-barrow (CL065-109001-) lies 75m to NW and a third (CL065-109003-) lay c. 65m to S but the third one has been destroyed by quarrying at the adjacent promontory fort (CL065-027----).
