Earthwork complex described in 1943 as following; 'Complex of 2 Earthworks of Type A and 3 Ring-barrows. No. 2. The second platform structure is divided by a very shallow fosse which runs across it from east to west, Thig seems to be a modern drain which has become silted up. The spoil from it occupies the north side of the platform. There is no trace of an external fosse or bank. In the south-east quadrant of the platform there is a small ring-barrow which consists of very slight mound surrounded by a fosse. It has no outer bank. The overall diameter of the barrow is 25' [7.6m], while the overall diameter of the platform, which is not quite circular, is 90' [27.5m]. All five monuments are in a lowland marshy meadow' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 172). Outline of monument visible today on Digital Globe aerial photograph.
