What survives is a roughly circular patch of ground, measuring just over four metres across, edged by the faintest trace of a fosse, the encircling ditch that would once have defined the barrow's boundary. At its deepest the fosse is only five centimetres, little more than a shadow pressed into the soil.

A ditch barrow is a burial mound or funerary enclosure ringed by a cut ditch, a form found across prehistoric Ireland and Britain. Here, the interior sits at exactly the same level as the surrounding ground, which suggests that whatever mound may once have risen at the centre has long since been ploughed or weathered flat. The fosse itself is clearest along the south-east to north-west arc, while the remainder has all but vanished. Just to the east, the scar of an old field drain cuts across the landscape on a north-north-west to south-south-east axis, a reminder of the centuries of agricultural activity that have worked away at the site. The monument was first identified during fieldwork in 2008 and confirmed by an aerial photograph, the kind of oblique or vertical image that can catch the subtle cropmarks and soil discolourations that ground-level inspection easily misses.
