Surveyed in 2012 and described by McGuinness (2012, 31) as following: 'Tall, flat-topped and steep-sided conical mound (Diam. 15.5m N-S), heavily overgrown with thorn trees and brambles, situated on brow of low ridge that runs NW-SE along NE side of River Gaine. Where measurement is possible on NE side, mound is 2.1m in height. Mound is surrounded by shallow ditch, best preserved on SSW side, where it reaches 0.16m below ground level. Part of NW edge of mound has been shorn off, showing it to be composed of earth with some stone. A piece of SW side also appears to have been removed, but this area is heavily overgrown. Visibility from the monument is quite poor on account of its low-lying position, being best to SW and W. The RMP lists two other 'Burial Mounds' and a 'Mound' in fields close by (WM007-073----; WM007-074----' WM007-076----), but these were not located'.
