The National Monuments Service's description
The remains of a low mound (dims. 9m N–S by 11.2m E–W) were exposed in the course of monitoring an afforestation project. It consisted of a burnt layer of blackened soil and head-shattered stones (30mm – 130mm thick) that was visible below the peaty topsoil, 0.09m – 0.20m below the ground surface (pers. comm. Richard Crumlish, 23 April 2015).
