An almost circular tree-covered mound 21 x 19.0m with a maximum height of 2.3m. It is mainly composed of earth, but rabbit burrows reveal small stones in it. A kerb is well-defined on the south, with traces in the remaining perimeter. The mound, which appears to be undisturbed, spreads a little beyond this.
