The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a low hill, in a deciduous forest. Roughly circular cairn of stones (H 3.2m; 15m N-S; 16m E-W). The sides are roughly-stepped with the steps decreasing in height from the base upwards. At the top is a flat roughly circular summit (3m N-S; 3.8m E-W). The cairn is best preserved N->E but has suffered a partial collapse along its S arc.
