The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a ridge top, in an area of sharply undulating terrain, 8m W of a cashel (SL018-051002-). This record refers to a low, grass-covered oval rise (4.5m N–S; 2.4m E–W; H 0.2 at E, 0.5m at W) of earth and stone, with sides grading smoothly into the surrounding ground. It was first recorded in 1986 in a sketch plan (SMR file: pers. comm. W. Forbes, mound ‘B’), and was listed in the RMP (1985) as a possible fulacht fia. An inspection in 2013 determined that it is not a fulacht fia. It may be a small field clearance heap.
