The National Monuments Service's description
According to the landowner, there is a mass-rock at this location. About 30m west of the burial ground (CO091-073----) are a group of large boulders around the base of an ash tree. It is not clear which is the mass-rock but is probably the southern one, which is rectangular in shape and almost level (mentioned in a local history book called ‘Hidden Gold’ ed. Julia Kemp FAS 1998, p.159)
