In pasture, located on top of a steep slope which falls to W into a stream valley. Immediately to SE the ground falls away more gently to a lower terrace on the ridge. There are panoramic views of the surrounding coastal landscape, with Nephin Mountain visible in the distance to SW, Downpatrick Head to WNW, Ben Bulbin to NE and Slieve League to NNE. Circular rise (overall diam. c. 5m; H 0.4m at SW, 0.65m at NE), with a somewhat flattened top (2.35m NW–SE; 2.75m NE–SW), defined by a low scarp. The scarp is relatively pronounced at N–SE but grades more seamlessly into the surrounding ground at S–W. A few stones are visible protruding from the sod around the perimeter. The mound is grass-covered and rather dilapidated and its function is unclear.
