Situated on flat pasture in an upland area with a stone pair (TN019-041----) c. 42m to the SE and rock outcrop decorated with cup-marks (TN019-053----) 20m to the S. A well-preserved steep-sided flat-topped mound (H 3.5-4m; top diam. 11.5m N-S; base diam. 19m N-S) enclosed by wide flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 5m; ext. D 1m) with small orthostats protruding from the base of the fosse at E and S - probably natural rock outcrop. The base of the mound has been scarped and a water pump inserted into the fosse at E.
