The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pastureland, sloping down gently to a wet area to the NE. This is a classic horseshoe-shaped mound (dims. 12.75m NW-SE; 10.9m NE-SW) open (Wth 1.3m) to the NE. It is grass covered, although slightly denuded on the N side. The trough area (dims. 3.7m NE-SW; 1.3m NW-SE) has a flat base. There is a natural swallow hole adjacent to the ENE.
