Located on top of a long, broad, fertile ridge running E-W. The site is now levelled, but a survey by O. Davies (OPW file 1942) records a wedge-shaped mound (L 22.8m; Wth 6.4m at W, 4.9m at E; H 1.5m at W, 1m at E) composed of clay and stones. Davies suggested that the site might be a settlement, but the OS (OS Memoranda 5675 A, B) record that it was locally known as a 'Giant's Grave', which would suggest it may have been a megalithic tomb.
