What is recorded here
Situated in a prominent position on a hillock by the roadside west of Balrothery village. It is a roughly circular, flattish topped mound (diam. 14m; max. H 2m). The monument had been eroded by cattle along the E and on the top (Healy 1975, 17). Has been left under rough grass which extends downwards to the field limits to south and west forming a buffer- remainder of the field arable.
