The National Monuments Service's description

In level grassland on the E bank of the Cannahowna River. Indicated and annotated 'G.P.' (gravel pit) on the OS Fair Plan and as an irregular enclosed tree plantation on the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1912-16). An oval flat-topped mound of earth and stone (30m NE-SW; 24m NW-SE) is visible. Slight traces of a low bank are visible at S. Large rocks and boulders are scattered in the WSW sector. Most of the trees have been removed. Possibly a quarry site that was subsequently landscaped.
