The National Monuments Service's description

On a W-facing pasture slope. An oval area (50m NNW – SSE; 25m NNE - SSW) defined by a vegetation band (Wth 2m) ESE-S-W-NNE, with faint traces of an earthen bank elsewhere. The interior appears to have been dug out, with two distinct hollows occupying most of the area enclosed. No grave markers are visible.
