The National Monuments Service's description
'Located in the south-western corner of a relatively flat marshy field the site affords reasonably good views in all directions, particularly to the north and the Stacks Mountains. The land here has been improved to some degree and this low mound may well represent the remains of what was a larger site. The mound is circular, 6.2m in diameter with no evidence for a trough and it remains to a maximum height of 0.31m.'
