It measures 11.5 metres in diameter, defined by a fosse, a modest ditch, just under two metres wide and only about 20 centimetres deep at its most pronounced. That restraint is part of what makes ring-ditches interesting: they leave almost nothing above the surface, yet they mark out space with a deliberateness that is clearly intentional.

Ring-ditches are among the more quietly debated features in Irish field archaeology. Many are thought to be the remnants of Bronze Age burial mounds where the central earthwork has long since been ploughed or eroded away, leaving only the circular drainage or delimiting ditch that once surrounded it. Others may have served as low enclosures in their own right. What gives this particular example some additional context is its proximity to a tumulus situated roughly 120 metres to the northeast. A tumulus is a burial mound, typically a raised earthen or stone heap covering one or more prehistoric interments, and the presence of one so close to this ring-ditch suggests the two features may have been part of a shared funerary or ceremonial landscape, though no excavation record is available to confirm any direct relationship between them.
