  In pasture, at a break of the W-facing slope of a ridge. A flat-topped circular mound of sod-covered earth and stone (diam. 22.1m at base, 11m NNE-SSW at top; H 1.5m). About one third of the W edge and a portion of the base of the mound at NNW have been quarried away. Two contiguous boulders have been exposed by quarrying at the base of the mound at NNW. A few stones protrude intermittently along the perimeter of the top of the mound N-E. A circular sod-covered rise (diam. c. 4m; H 0.5m) from which some large stones protrude, is evident on top of the mound close to the quarry edge at W. A rough line of stones skirting the base of the mound along the E edge may be field-clearance stones.
