In a field of rushes, at the base of a slope and immediately SW of a well. A low roughly circular grass-covered rise (c. 10m N-S; c. 13m E-W; H 0.6-0.8m). The soil is noticeably stony and incorporates some small pieces of iron slag. A rath (SL047-08401-) lies c. 100m to NW and an enclosure (SL047-084002-) lies c. 80m to N. There is a field system (SL047-084003-) to N.
