On the NW-facing slope of Redmount Hill. This roughly circular ring-barrow (42.8m NNE-SSW; 41.5m ESE-WNW), in fair condition, comprises a low flat-topped central mound encircled by a fosse and external bank. The line of the fosse is indicated by a darker band of vegetation. The bank has been almost completely ploughed out.
