The National Monuments Service's description
This monument reported to ASI by Alan Hawkes, UCC. He describes it as 'situated on an elevated position, upslope and west of a gently sloping glen. A crescent shaped spread of burnt material in a ploughed field. The crescent open to the west where a clear depression was noted which may mark the location of a trough. A slight mound did appear to be present which was more obvious to the south and east. The overall dimensions of the spread were 20.6m N/S by 15.5m E/W.'
