This site consists of three low, distinct mounds that surround a probably natural depression used as a trough. The mounds measure from the most northerly to the most southerly:.... 7m by 5.5m,....6.3m by 5m and......6m by 4.3m all remain to between 0.6 and 0.8m in height. The trough area opens to the east -north-east and measures 6.8m by 5.6m. It takes the form of an elongated depression ringed by the three distinct mounds.'
