Six of the seven remain visible above ground; the seventh has vanished entirely, absorbed back into the fields. That a cemetery of this kind should survive at all, let alone in such numbers, makes this a genuinely unusual grouping.

Bowl-barrows are among the most recognisable monuments of Bronze Age burial practice, typically consisting of a rounded earthen mound enclosed within a surrounding ditch, the whole arrangement intended to mark and contain the remains of the dead. The example surveyed here in 2015 by David McGuinness is a good illustration of the form. The mound itself measures roughly 12.4 metres north to south and 11.7 metres east to west, with a slightly flattened summit rather than a sharp dome. Around it runs a broad, flat-based circular ditch, now largely silted up but still measurable; at its best-preserved point, on the north-north-west side, the ditch drops 1.8 metres below the top of the mound and sits just fractionally below the level of the surrounding ground. The ditch is notably consistent in width, ranging from about 2.2 metres on the west side to 2.8 metres on the north and east. Where erosion on the south-east has exposed the interior of the mound, the material beneath proves to be very stony soil. The entire monument sits under a preservation order dating from 1979, recognising the rarity of a barrow-cemetery on this scale surviving more or less intact in the Irish midlands.
