The National Monuments Service's description
At the northern terminus of an esker ridge, in an undulating landscape of newly planted forestry. An oval area (dims. 16m N-S; 25m E-W; overall dims. c. 31m N-S; c. 34m E-W visible on OS ortho) defined by shallow scarp (Wth 0.5m; H 0.1m) ESE-NW and gradual scarp (Wth 6.5m; H 1m) NW-ESE where it blends into the natural hillslope (Wth 8m; H 1.5m) and an external fosse (overall Wth 3.2m; D 0.15m) ESE-NW is clearly seen as a darker band of grass. The interior has a W-facing slope. A small, sunken area within the ESE sector may be the remains of a barrow. Forestry (ash) has been planted in the recent past and an adequate buffer zone (min. 30m) has been maintained around monument. There is a private roadway, running roughly E-W c. 15m to the N.
