A pond barrow is a type of Bronze Age funerary or ritual enclosure defined not by a mound but by its inversion: a flat, roughly level interior enclosed by a low earthen bank, creating something closer to a shallow basin than a burial heap. The effect is subtle, easily mistaken for a natural hollow or an old field boundary, which is part of what makes this one quietly remarkable.

The enclosure here measures roughly 14.3 metres north to south and 15 metres east to west, its interior kept flat and bounded by a compact earthen bank between 2.3 metres wide. The bank survives better on the northern and eastern sides, becoming less distinct towards the south. What sets this example apart are the two standing stones associated with it. One occupies the interior in the south-west sector; the other stands at the entrance gap on the east-south-east side, positioned in line with the outer edge of the bank. That entrance, around 3 metres wide, appears deliberately orientated, and the alignment of the stones with the gap suggests the approach to the interior was marked and intentional rather than incidental. Standing stones within or beside barrow enclosures are not unknown in Ireland, but their presence here gives the site an added layer of deliberate arrangement. The description of the monument comes from the Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary, compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien and published in 2002.

The position on the ridge crest, close to the western edge of a gradual fall, means the site would have been conspicuous in the prehistoric landscape, visible across the valley below. The bank is low enough today that the eye has to be trained to read it, but once the outline registers, the geometry of the enclosure and its two stones becomes difficult to unsee.
