The National Monuments Service's description

In improved pasture, abutting E-boundary of field. Identified initially by landowner when ploughing this field in recent years. Remains of semi-circular levelled mound (dims. 28m E-W; 24m N-S; H 0.2-0.25m) of black soil, charcoal and heat-shattered stone. According to local information, a rectangular trough was recovered in this area during ploughing and has since been preserved in-situ and backfilled.
