Its greatest height is 5' [1.5m] and its overall diameter is 120' [36m]. It is situate on the edge of the bank of stream which is tributary to the Camoge. The stream has eaten away portion of the east side of the mound' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 179). The outline of the monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
