The National Monuments Service's description
On an E-W ridge, in wooded area. A roughly oval shaped concentration of stones and large boulders which form an irregularly shaped mound (c. 100m NW-SE by 40m E-W). These features probably formed part of the landscape design associated with Borris house. Area heavily overgrown at time of inspection by ASI (February 2007).
