In rough hill pasture, on an E-facing peaty slope, in a sheltered hollow overlooking the valley of the Flesk River. A horseshoe-shaped mound (11m E-W; 7.2m N-S; H 1.1m) of burnt material with an opening (2.4m N-S; 2m E-W) facing W. The mound material is exposed at SW and at the base along the E arc, where a stream skirts the mound.
