Description

The site consists of a substantial, flat-topped oval mound measuring 55m by 48m, oriented NW-SE, which lies amongst river marshes. It is up to 2.5m in height and approximately 60m in diameter. A chapel may formerly have stood upon the mound and there may have been a ditch around its base. It may date to the early medieval period, or have a prehistoric origin.

The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of ritual and burial practices. It retains significant archaeological potential, with a strong probability of the presence of associated archaeological features and deposits. The structure itself may be expected to contain archaeological information concerning chronology and building techniques.
