The National Monuments Service's description
Located in lowlying, improved pasture. There is field drain immediately to SE.
Grass-covered, kidney-shaped mound (21.5m NE–SW; 12m NW–SE; H 0.85m) with a slight indentation on the N side. There is a hollow (c. 4m NE–SW; c. 3m NW–SE) at the NE end of the mound and a very shallow depression (diam. c. 3m) at the SSW; these may be the result of relatively recent disturbance.
