The National Monuments Service's description
On low-lying, level ground at the bottom of the E-facing slope of a drumlin. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims c. 48m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE) defined by a curving earthen bank (Wth 4.3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) SE-SW and a curving scarp (H 0.5-0.7m) NE-SE, but a farmyard truncates the NW half of the monument. There is no visible fosse or entrance.
