The National Monuments Service's description
There is an oval-shaped, flat-bottomed pond-like depression (12m N-S; 10m E-W) immediately N of Treanmore ring-barrow (SL035-101----). The depression is defined by a scarp (H 1.1m) and is waterlogged with some peat growth at its centre. This may be a ritual feature associated with the barrow.
