The National Monuments Service's description
On marshy ground to the NW of a spring with a modern field fence and road immediately to the NW. A slightly raised irregular mound (8m NE-SW; 4m NW-SE; H 1m), consisting of burnt stones and charcoal. The area stands out in marshy ground due to its growth of ferns as distinct from reeds.
