The National Monuments Service's description

In wet poorly drained pasture, in an upland area with good views in all directions. A classic horseshoe-shaped mound of burnt material (H 0.5m; dims. 12.2m N-S; 11.6m E-W) with a shallow depression (dims. 2.8m N-S; 5.3m; E-W; D 0.3m) in the E face indicating a possible trough area. There is a natural spring immediately to the E of the trough area. Since the 2006 inspection the mound has been levelled. Fire-cracked stones are spread over the surface area.
