The National Monuments Service's description

Situated atop a small hillock that would be a good location for a barrow with good views from E-S-SW. There are no surface remains visible of any feature that corresponds to a cropmark consisting of two small concentric circles visible on aerial photographs (SMR File). The field has been recently reclaimed and a field fence at N has been removed.
