What survives in a field of elevated pasture in County Sligo is only half a prehistoric burial mound, the remaining portion forming a D-shape on the ground where a circle once stood. An embanked barrow, in its complete form, would have consisted of a round earthen mound enclosed by a surrounding bank and, typically, a fosse or ditch separating the two. Here, no fosse is visible at ground level, and roughly half the monument appears to have been removed entirely, leaving behind a slight scarp on the north-east-south arc where the bank has gone.

What remains is modest but legible to a careful eye. The surviving D-shaped area measures approximately 13.5 metres north to south and 9 metres east to west, enclosed by a broad earthen bank between 6.5 and 7.4 metres wide, rising only about 0.3 metres above the interior. The external scarp on the missing side stands just 0.15 metres high. These are quiet, low-lying dimensions, the kind of monument that registers as a gentle irregularity in a pasture rather than an imposing structure. Barrows of this type were funerary monuments, raised during the Bronze Age as burial places for the dead, and they occur throughout Ireland in a range of forms; the embanked variant, with its encircling earthwork, is among the more formally elaborate. Whether the missing half was lost to agricultural clearance, deliberate levelling, or some older disturbance is not recorded, but the geometry of what remains makes the subtraction plain.
