In pasture, on a gentle E-facing slope. A grass-covered, oval mound (7.65m NW-SE; 5.2m NE-SW; H 0.75m) of earth, gravel and stones. The top of the mound is relatively flat with a slight slope down to the SE. The slope at NW is longer and more gentle than elsewhere. Numerous stones are visible in the SE half. A rath (KE058-039----) lies c. 100m to the W.
