Located c 180m north of the Loch of Papil towards the edge of the present agriculatural land. The siting is sheltered and a stream (now culverted) is only a few metres to the west; the immediate area has a tendency to be waterlogged. The mound is on a slightly raised platform, is crescent shaped (with horns extending to the east) and is c.12m long, c 8m wide and has a maximum height of c.2m on its south side. The northern end is badly disturbed having been used as a quarry and a tip. Several small mounds in the vicinity appear to be modern.
