Situated on a gradual, subtle break in a NW-facing slope in hilly terrain, under pasture. The site is in the SE corner of a field with the field ditch skirting the monument at SE and SW. A standing stone (TN039-001001) is situated 3.6m to the NE. A roughly circular ring-barrow (TN039-001002) consisting of a central mound, a deep, U-shaped fosse and an outer bank. There is evidence of a stone cist in the centre of the mound with two long slabs exposed at right angles (L 1m x Wth 0.3m and L 0.67m x 0.16m).
