The National Monuments Service's description

Located in flat, wet marshy area largely covered with rushes. A low, roughly circular grass-covered mound (10m SW-NE; 9m SE-NW; H. 0.45m) displays heat-shattered stones intermittently along its outer perimieter, especially along its eroding W side. The upper surface is uneven. A partly chocked-up stream flows close to the W side. A slight depression in the SW quadrant of the mound may indicated the location of the trough. It appears that some time in the past material from the stream may have been depoitied in the trough, given the mound a roughly circular appearance.
