The National Monuments Service's description

Not indicated on the 1st (1893) ed. OS 6-inch map or the 1899-1902 revision. A mound which when partially excavated in c. 1960 revealed bones, presumed to be human, and a decorated bone spindle whorl. The mound appears to have been completely levelled subsequently as it is not visible on satellite imagery. An enclosure (KK024-047----) is located c. 160m to the SW.
