In low-lying pasture prone to flooding. Two contiguous mounds (E-W 20.2m, N-S 12.3m, H 1.7m) separated by a depression possibly opening towards SSW. The E one is a well-preserved kidney- shaped grassed-over mound of burnt limestone with a depression on W side. Adjoining it, to W, is a smaller rectangular mound of similar character.
