The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle S-facing slope, and it was first identified and recorded by Paul Duffy. This is a grass-covered and flat-topped oval mound (dims of base c. 15m NE-SW; c. 13m NW-SE; dims of top c. 7m NE-SW; c. 6m NW-SE; H c. 1.2m), which is slightly poached at W where granite stones are visible but there is no evidence of any burning.
