In pasture, on a hillock overlooking a small stream. A long earthen mound (c. 56m E-W; 10m N-S; H c. 1.4m) incorporating part of a natural rise. The W end of the mound slopes down to W, is wedge-shaped (18m E-W; 8m N-S at E end; 7m N-S at W end) and revetted with large boulders. A large limestone slab (L 2.6m; Wth 1.8m; T 0.4m) (SL021-026001-) resting on three smaller boulders (dims. of one: 1.1m x 0.85m; H 0.26m) forms the E side where a straight line of boulders joins these stones to the S side of mound. The eastern portion of the mound (L 40m; Wth 10m), E of the boulders and slab, is convex in profile. The mound is ill-defined at the E end with a scarp revetted by smaller stones continuing on the N side for a further 20m. A narrow rectangular field is indicated here on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.
