The National Monuments Service's description
In Nut Wood in Coole Demesne, c. 5m to the E of the Coole River, and on the route of a nature trail. This kidney-shaped mound (11.5m N-S; 5.5m E-W; max. H 0.4m) has a central hollow opening to the W. Possible revetment is visible around the E half of the hollow but this may be slippage from an estate wall that cuts across the E extremity of the site. The nature trail crosses its W half.
