The National Monuments Service's description
In wet, level pasture with limited views in all directions. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map as a small roughly circular-shaped earthwork, with barony boundary to W. Monument visited by the ASI in 2001 when it was described as no surface remains visible. Site of levelled monument is obscured by a linear tract of scrub running roughly N-S on Digital Globe aerial photographs taken 2011-2013 and Google Earth orthoimage taken 19/11/2019.
