In reclaimed pasture on steep NW facing slope of Derk Hill the summit of which (OD 782 ft.) lies 260m to SE. Spring annotated on OSi 25-inch map 38m to SSE. Enclosure (LI033-033002-) 15m to N, possible ringfort (LI033-034----) 45m to SE. Not depicted on OSi maps. Surveyed by the ASI in 2007 and described as a raised oval-shaped flat-topped platform (dims 13m NW-SE; 8m NE-SW) with possible external fosse only visible at NW and NE. May be the remains of a burial mound. Described in 1960 as an ‘earthen mound 48 feet [14.6m] by 39 feet [12m]; 4 feet [1.2m] over field level. Mound is flat on top' (O’Dwyer 1958-61, 113; Knockderk 52). The mound is clearly visible on OSi orthophotos 2005-2012 and visible only as a cropmark on Google Earth orthoimage dated 25/03/2017.
