The National Monuments Service's description
In level, average pasture, drained by field ditches. This mound has been levelled. However, a dense layer of burnt stone (L 10m; D 0.6m) is visible in section in a drain (Wth 1.5m; D 1.2m). In addition the NE side of the drain is bordered by a low bank of upcast containing burnt mound material. This also occurs as a level surface spread extending for c. 6m to E of the bank. There is another burnt mound (SL019-217----) c. 100m to SSE.
