A substantial, sub-circular grassy mound lies inside a pasture field, close to the coast edge. There is some suggestion that it may occupy a natural ridge, but it is unlikely to be an entirely natural feature. It measures some 35m in diameter and stands up to 3m high. The centre is slightly dished, suggesting that it may have been dug into in the past. Several earthfast stones protrude through the turf. Ref.: RCAHMS (1980), #135.
