In rough pasture, on the crest of a drumlin, with commanding views. A circular flat-topped grass-covered mound (diam. 15.5m N-S; H 2.25m) with some stones visible on its surface; the upper part of the mound has indications of quarrying (pers. comm. J. Farrelly and M. Keane). An embanked barrow (SL039-009----) lies c. 190m to N and a ring-barrow (SL039-011----) c. 170m to E.
