The National Monuments Service's description
Shown on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map as a small, circular enclosure (est. diam. c. 12m). Described in 1955 as a low circular mound (diam. 16.5m) with a fosse and outer bank, and damaged at the NE (SMR file). Possibly a ringbarrow. At the foot of a gentle N-facing pasture slope. No visible surface trace survives.
