At NY 3725 9860 there is a circular mound, with a maximum height on its western side of 1.6m, on top of a natural knoll commanding a good view down the valley of Ewelees Burn. Around it can be traced a shallow ditch and on the NW there is the suggestion of an outer upcast bank. The fairly flat top of the mound is 8.0m in diameter, while the overall diameter of the mound is 18.0m.

There is no sign of any structure, and no evidence of the date or purpose of the feature except that when viewed from the steep hillside above and immediately to the SW, it has all the appearances of a tumulus; no stones can be seen at or around the site.

Surveyed at 1:2500.
