Within the modern stand of conifers on the summit of Harcarse Hill (83m OD) there are the remains of a plantation bank which encloses an area roughly 35m in diameter and is delimited by an earthen bank up to 1m high along its outer edge. The interior is pock-marked with tree-throws from earlier phases of planting, and supplemented by a modern water tank. There is no evidence of a cairn.
The plantation bank is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 25-inch map (Berwick, 1862, Sheet XXII.8 (Swinton)).
