The National Monuments Service's description

Located towards the bottom of the W facing slope of a drumlin. A subcircular feature (diam. c. 20m) is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: H 6-7) from the 1970s but not on any other aerial images. It was not noted in 1991 (SMR file) but has been recognised by Ed O'Donovan (pers. com. 23/10/2020) in monitoring the construction of a forestry road as a circular grass-covered mound (diam. of base c. 20m; H 0.65m) in deciduous woodland.
