There are good views across and along both the Dinin river valley, but the Deen river valley is obscured by higher land. A roughly circular platform (max. diam. c. 30m) with a low, wide bank (Wth 3m; int. H c. 0.4m; ext. H 0.6-0.8m). The S edge has been truncated by a field bank. There is an entrance (Wth 3m) at E and another (Wth 2m) at the NW, both have been cattle trampled. There is a pond c. 20m E of the monument.
