The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a natural hillock with extensive views. A flat-topped earth and stone mound (H 1.3m; top diam. 4m; base diam. 7m approx.) the S half of which was levelled in the late 1970s during which a cist (TN034-093002) containing two female adult skeletons was revealed. The cartographic evidence suggests that the site originally consisted of two conjoined burial mounds, only the N half of one now survives.
