The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the top of a S-facing slope. Described by Knox (1914b, 352) as a barrow, but no dimensions are given. A circular feature (diam. c. 15m) can be seen on aerial photographs (GSIAP M 144-5), but it is not visible at ground level in pasture. The rectangular enclosure (RO039-085001-) is immediately to the NE, and the barrows (RO039-014001-, RO039-014002-, RO039-014003-) and rath (RO039-015----) are c. 100m to the E-SE as described by Knox.
