The National Monuments Service's description
At the E end of a broad E-W ridge. Subcircular grass and rush-covered dished area (int. diam. 27.5 NE-SW; 23.7m NW-SE) defined by a grass-covered bank (Wth 10.5-11.3m; int. H 0.7-0.9m; ext. H 0.4-0.7m). The perimeter at NW is overlain by a NE-SW field bank and drains, and a water-tower has been built on the perimeter at W (max. ext. diam. 50m NE-SW). There is no visible entrance, and it may be a small pingo or a natural pond that is now dry.
