The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a shelf of fairly level ground on the valley floor of the Bonet River, with a N-S section of the stream c. 200m to the W. This is a grass-covered circular mound (diam. c. 20m; H 1m) with traces of an enclosing bank (L 10m; Wth 1m; H0.3m) visible at NW. There are many quarries in the mound and it may be a natural rise.
