The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a lawn in the rear garden of a dwelling. The ring-barrow stands immediately E of the remains of a megalithic tomb (SL007-040001-). It measures c. 6.5-7m in diameter. The central mound (diam. c. 3m) and outer-bank (Wth 1-1.2m) are visible as a slight rise (0.1-0.15m) above the surface of the lawn. The outer element of the bank at W fades into a slight rise in ground surface where it borders the remains of the megalithic tomb.
