Situated on a slight SSW-facing slope, in elevated rocky pasture similar to another mound (SL015-051---) located 30m to the SSE. Circular flat-topped mound (dims. L top N-S 1.75m; Wth top E-W 1.45m; L base N-S 4.55m; Wth base E-W 6.25m) of earth and rubble limestone. There is no fosse visible at ground level. The external height of the mound increases from N to S due to the underlying natural slope.
