The National Monuments Service's description
On an ENE-facing slope in low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. at base 9.8m) enclosed by a wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.5m; H 0.3-1.1m). From NE-E-SE the outer face of the bank has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. A break (Wth 2.5m) at SSE marks the original entrance. A stepped barrow (LF015-037002-) is c. 5m to the N.
