In rough grazing, on the SW side of a stream. A horseshoe-shaped mound (19m NW-SE; 9m NE-SW; H 1.1m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil, partially covered with gorse, with its opening (Wth 4m) facing SW. Parts of the mound have been removed, especially along the NE arc, leaving the burnt material exposed. There is a standing stone (CO106-077002-) c. 100m to the SW. (Myler 1998, 33)
