The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight S-facing slope in a low-lying landscape. Rectangular grass-covered platform (dims of base 11.2m N-S; c. 8m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.4m) at N, and scarps at E (H 0.3m) and S (H 0.5m) which merge into the slope at W. There is a mound (diam. 3.8m; H 0.8m) at the W end of the bank at N, and a cairn of field stones at E, but there are no grave-markers, although it is known locally to be a children's burial ground.
