The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying pastureland, c. 50m W of a stream. Described by Cody (1989, 159, no. 17) as a grassed-over horseshoe-shaped mound of burnt stone (13.5m NE-SW; 10m NW-SE; H 0.8m) opening to the SE. A modern stone field wall running NW-SE cut across the W half of it. On inspection in June 1992 no visible surface trace survived. A mound (GA096-064----) is visible c. 65m to the NE.
