The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, overlooking a poorly drained area to the ESE. Identified during field survey by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly (9 December 2008). Conjoined ditch barrows (TS066-184002- and TS066-184003-) are located c. 7m to the SE and a ditch barrow (TS066-183002-) is located c. 52m to the ENE. A circular area (dims. 3.15m N-S; 3.3m E-W) defined by a shallow fosse (Wth 1.6m; D 0.03m), accentuated by wild irises in the S quadrant, with the remains of a possible outer bank (Wth 2.95m; int. H 0.14m; ext. H 0.04m) W-S-SE. The interior is 0.07m lower in height than the external ground level. The remains of a poorly defined mound of similar size adjoin to the NW indicating that this may have been a conjoined barrow.
