In pasture, on top of a rounded hillock, with views S to The Paps of Dana. A circular area (9.8m N-S; 9.05m E-W) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.15m) and an outer bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1.04m; ext. H 0.45m). Part of the bank is incorporated into a field boundary along the N arc. There is a break (Wth 1.2m) in the bank at NNE and a possible entrance (Wth 2.85m) with a causeway at W. There is a mound of stones at the centre of the interior and a stone-filled depression immediately to its S. The entire ring-barrow is obscured by gorse and briars.
