The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, 15m S of a canalised river.
Low, roughly circular, grass-covered mound (14.5m N–S; 16m E–W; H 0.5m) composed of shattered stone in a black, charcoal-rich soil. A shallow depression (diam. c. 2.6m) to NE of centre may indicate the position of a trough. There is a field drain, flanked by a post and wire fence, immediately to NW.
