The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on SE bank of a stream.
When inspected in 1998, a layer (L 1.5m; D 0.15-0.2m) of black charcoal-rich soil incorporating much shattered stone was visible in section where a portion of the stream bank has been cut away to allow farm stock access to the water. It was not possible to determine the full extent of the layer. There is no above ground evidence of a mound.
