The National Monuments Service's description

Located on the summit of a small NW-SE ridge, it is known locally as a burial ground. This is a circular grass-covered mound (diam. of base 10.5m; diam. of top c. 7.5-8m; H 0.6-0.8m) with a slight hollow at the centre and with stones accumulating on the perimeter N-E-S, those N-E probably forming a kerb.
