The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW corner of a field of rough, poorly-drained pasture, on the W bank of a stream. Kidney-shaped mound (13.8m N–S; 12m 3–W; H 0.8m at N, 1.5m at S) composed of heat-shattered sandstone fragments in a matrix of black charcoal-rich soil. A depression on the W side appears to indicate the location of the trough.
