That off-centre placement is the first curious detail about this ditch barrow, a funerary monument type defined not by a raised mound but by a circular area enclosed within a surrounding fosse, or ditch, with a bank built up on the outside. The form is subtle, easy to walk past without recognition.

The barrow is modest in scale. The circular interior measures roughly 2.1 metres north to south and 2.2 metres east to west, enclosed by a fosse ranging between 0.8 and 1.6 metres wide, though now only a few centimetres deep. The outer bank, oriented roughly southeast to northwest, extends about 2.5 metres in overall width, narrowing to a metre at the top, with an internal and external height of around five centimetres on each face. The interior itself is level. What draws the eye, beyond the geometry, is the relationship between this barrow and the enclosure it sits within. Prehistoric monuments nested inside other enclosures are not unheard of in Ireland, and such arrangements often reflect centuries of reuse and reinterpretation of landscape, one community reading meaning into what an earlier one left behind. Here, the barrow occupies the western portion of that enclosure, just off its centre, in a placement that feels deliberate even if the reasoning behind it is now lost.

The monument has not survived entirely intact. Machinery has disturbed the ground, and the concentration of livestock feeding in this spot has added further wear to features that were already faint. The shallow depth of the fosse, likely reduced considerably from its original dimensions, speaks to how much has already been lost to ordinary agricultural activity over generations.
