The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape. This is a rectangular scrub-covered platform (dims of top 15.5m E-W; 8.7m N-S; dims of base 18.7m E-W; 10.3m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.1m at N to 0.6m at S) with some grave-markers protruding from the mound.
