Located on hilltop in field of corn. A circular dome-shaped mound (diam.25m; H 4.5m) with possible berm (Wth 5m) around the base and shallow external fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.2-0.4m; Healy 1975, 15). Fantastic views in every direction. Mound is very overgrown to the point of inaccessibility. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Update by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 27 October 2014
