The National Monuments Service's description
On flat pasture with good views in all directions. A well-preserved ring-barrow (overall diam. c. 23m) consists of a circular flat-topped mound (top diam. 5m; base diam. 8.2m; H 0.4m) enclosed by an inner fosse (base Wth 2m; top Wth 5m; ext. D 1m) and outer bank (base Wth 5m; top Wth 1.4m; ext. H 0.65m) which is intersected at the E on a N-S axis by a modern field boundary. The ring-barrow is heavily overgrown and covered in thorn bushes but otherwise in good condition.
