D-shaped grass-covered platform (dims of top 10.4m NE-SW; 9.6m NW-SE; dims of base 13m NE-SW; 11.4m NW-SE; H 0.45-0.7m), which was straightened at the NW by a NNE-SSW field bank, with a mound (diam. 4.9m NW-SE; H 0.2m) just NW of the centre. Ring-barrow (RO039-014001-) is c. 10m to the N, and rath (RO039-015----) is c. 30m to the S, while barrow (RO039-014003-) may have been just to the S. (Knox 1914b, 352)
