The National Monuments Service's description

Marked on first edition OS six-inch map as a small circular earhwork (approx. diam. c. 15m), the present remains consist of a barely visible much degraded earthwork of which only the slightest remains of an arc of a levelled bank which is visible under good lighting conditions from W to N only with the slightest suggestion of an inner fosse and a possible central mound. May be the remains of a much degraded unclassified barrow.
