The National Monuments Service's description
Situated to the E of Mountseskin House, on a SE-facing slope in rich pastureland. A ring-barrow indicated as a roughly circular enclosure on the 1843 OS 6-inch map. It was still standing in the mid 1970s (diam. 16m) when inspected by Paddy Healy (1975, 1-19). It had been cut by a field boundary. Not visible at ground level.
