The National Monuments Service's description
This feature was listed in the RMP (1997) as a mound based on information received by the SMR from a local source. It is not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. It is depicted on the 1922 edition as a roughly oblong enclosed area (c. 75-80m NE–SW; c. 35-40m NW–SE), planted with trees. Field inspection in 1997 determined that it consists of the remains of a landscape feature upon which field clearance stones have been heaped.
