Situated on top of a small, yet prominent rise, in gently undulating pasture. Monument described as a low barely visible egg-shaped mound (dims. 6.3m; 5.2m; max. H 1.2m) enclosed by an inner fosse, an inner bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The inner fosse is very slight and almost imperceptible. The two earthen banks are slight with a wide shallow fosse between them. The inner bank rises very marginally above the slight inner fosse. Approximately five stones form part of an internal stone facing of the outer bank at SE. The banks and fosses are best preserved from NE-E-S-W-NW, however the intervening fosse and outer bank are defaced at N. Some small sod-covered stones are visible on the surface of the mound but they could have been deposited here in relatively recent times. There is no visible trace of a formal entrance.
