Located on a small rise at the bottom of a steep NW-facing slope and on the flood-plain of an E-W section of the Finn River which is c. 160m to the N. This was described in 1942 as a circular raised area (diam. c. 14m) defined by an earthen bank or scarp (H c. 2.1-2.4m-and an outer fosse (Wth of top c. 2m; ext. D c. 0.9m), which was known locally as a childrens’ burial ground (SMR file). It had been removed by 1995 (OSAP).
