The National Monuments Service's description

In rough wet pasture, on a natural ridge/shelf, the land slopes steeply to the S c. 18m to the S of monument where there is a flood plain. Identified during field survey by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly (17 February 2009). A circular area (dims. 5m N-S; 4.75m E-W) defined by a fosse (Wth 1.6-1.9m; D 0.2-0.3m) and outer bank (Wth 3.35m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.17m) E-S. There are irises in the fosse all around with rushes and briars at the E. A slight depression (Wth 1.3m) in the outer area at ENE may be an entrance. The interior is grass covered with frequent irises and the barrow is slightly poached by livestock. There is a field boundary 6m to the S and a linear land drain runs N-S 4.5m to the W and another runs NW-SE to the E.
