It has a large central excavation of 4.5m diameter, which is now occupied by a boundary stone (see NZ 51 SE 64). This bears the legend THR GA 4. Ordnance Survey records, dated 1962, give the dimensions of this mound as 14m diameter, 1.5m high; it now appears that these dimensions were erroneous. (3)
