What looks, at walking pace, like a gentle grassy undulation is in fact a ring barrow, a circular prehistoric funerary monument defined by a surrounding ditch and low earthen bank. These structures were typically raised during the Bronze Age to mark burial sites, and this one has survived, in reduced but legible form, in a field that has otherwise been thoroughly reworked for farming.

The monument is modest in scale. The circular area measures roughly 5.6 metres north to south and 4.75 metres east to west. Around it runs a fosse, which is simply the ditch cut into the ground to define the boundary, here between 1.85 and 1.9 metres wide and just 10 to 15 centimetres deep. Beyond that sits a possible outer bank, still carrying a slight rise of around 10 to 12 centimetres on both its interior and exterior faces. The northeast arc of the monument is the best preserved section, where the combination of ditch and bank is most clearly readable in the ground. The interior slopes gently northward and is covered in grass, sitting on a north-facing hillside that shows traces of former water channels running through the surrounding land. The monument itself was not identified through ground survey alone; it came to attention through aerial photography, specifically Ordnance Survey photograph 2434/5, which revealed its circular form from above in a way that the slight earthworks might not communicate to someone walking across the field.

The site sits within what is now ordinary working farmland, and there is nothing to mark or interpret it for a visitor on the ground. The northeast quadrant is the part worth orienting towards if you do make it out to this corner of Tipperary, as that is where the earthwork retains its most coherent profile. Low, raking light in the early morning or late afternoon tends to bring out subtle earthworks like this far better than the flat light of midday, throwing the shallow banks into relief in a way that helps the eye make sense of what the ground is doing.
