The National Monuments Service's description
At the top of a gentle, E-facing pasture slope. This fairly high mound (max H 3.5m at E; min H 1.4m at W) has a circular base (diam. 16.5m) and a very small, oval, upper surface (diams. 1.5m E-W; 0.7m N-S). It is composed mainly of earth but some stone is visible near the top. A level berm (Wth 2.2m) occurs half-way up the side of the monument between N and E.
