The National Monuments Service's description
In level grassland. Well-preserved roughly circular ring-barrow (29.6m N-S; 27.3m E-W) comprising a flat-topped central platform (diam. 14m; max. H 0.5m) encircled by a fosse and external bank. A number of large boulders abutting the N sector of the central platform are suggestive of a revetment. A gap (Wth 5.3m) in the bank at WNW could be original. A number of hawthorn bushes are growing on the monument.
