The National Monuments Service's description
On a NE-facing slope in pasture. A circular, steep-sided mound of earth and stone (diam. at base c. 19.5m; H c. 3m) tapering to a point. It is encircled by traces of a levelled bank of earth and stone with a wide, deep, steep-sided, flat-bottomed internal fosse (Wth 5.5m; depth 1.4m). At NE the fosse has been largely infilled and the bank is missing.
