The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a very slight SSW-facing slope in elevated rocky pasture. Located c.100m WSW of another mound (SL015-053----) in NE corner of a large field. Circular mound flat-topped mound (dims. diam. top 5m; diam. base 10m) of earth and stone (ext. H 0.3-0.45m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The summit of the mound undulates irregularly. A NW-SE orientated depression (L 1.4m; Wth 0.8m; D 0.15m) spans the NW quadrant of the summit and probably indicates modern disturbance.
