A low, flat-topped, subcircular platform 33m E-W and 35m N-S. The platform is raised above the surrounding land from .1m on the S to 1m over much of the N half. There are intermittent stones around the perimeter. A 'roadway' 3m-4m wide and 0.2m below the platform surface crosses the site, near the SW edge, in a NW-SE direction. There is a marked scatter of stones between the roadway and the SW edge of the platform over a 6m x 5m area. The site which is known as a 'children's burial ground' is located on gently undulating pasture land 70m W of the Burnside River. A spur of rock outcrop adjoins the site on the NE.
