The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating grassland, on a trigonometrical point with extensive views in all directions. An elongated, grass-covered stony mound (14m N-S; 8.5m E-W) is truncated along the E side where it is steepest (H 2.6m). Field-clearance boulders are visible on the NW side. No grave-markers are visible but the site is locally regarded a children's burial ground.
