The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying pasture. Within the SE quadrant of an enclosure (LF025-005001-), which is defined by a low, curvilinear bank. According to local information, this is believed to be an ancient burial place. The ground level of this area is higher than the rest of the interior of the enclosure but no grave-markers are visible.
