The first portion, 15ft in length, lies E & W; the centre portion, 18ft in length, lies ESE and WNW, and the last part, 18ft in length, lies E and W. The breadth throughout is about 9ft, and the greatest elevation from 2ft to 2ft 6ins. A small, round mound of the ordinary form lies about 6ft distant at its E end.
