On the summit of a low hill. Marked only on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map. An overgrown oval platform (NW-SE 17m, NE-SW 8.2m) defined along SW by a short stretch of drystone walling. Within the interior, a small number of randomly placed set stones indicate graves. According to local information, a number of bones were found during land reclamation in the adjoining field to SW.
