The National Monuments Service's description
A Registered Historic Monument. On a hilltop with panoramic views in all directions. A well-defined, possibly landscaped, low (2m at S-3m at W) circular (base diam. 35m), flat-topped (diam 16m) steep-sided earthen mound. A modern farm road bordered by wooden post-and-rail fencing skirts the base NE-S-WSW. There is no trace of the two low earthen banks on the S limits of the summit, noted in 1972 (SMR file). A small concrete Trigonometrical Station is built into the upper surface.
