The National Monuments Service's description

On shelf of SE-facing hillslope in upland region overlooking river valley from ENE through E to S. Monument consists of a low flat-topped mound (top diam. 7.5m SE-NW; base diam. 10.5m SE-NW; H at NW 0.7m; H at SE 2m) of earth and stone construction with no traces of an enclosing fosse visible. Nearby field boundary running SE-NW runs close to base of mound at NE side. Mound appears to have been dug into the side of the hill as it is higher on the SE side.
