Ring barrows are prehistoric funerary monuments, typically Bronze Age, consisting of a low central mound or platform enclosed by a circular ditch and an outer earthen bank. What makes this one quietly curious is the water: the surrounding fosse, the ditch that rings the central area, is wet. In a landscape already shaped by the headwaters of a river, the monument sits in permanent dialogue with the boggy ground around it.

The barrow itself is modest in its dimensions. The central circular area measures 8.2 metres across, enclosed by a fosse between 4.5 and 5.8 metres wide and around 0.8 metres deep, with an outer earthen bank roughly 1.5 to 2 metres wide. At its widest extent, the whole monument stretches to a diameter of about 21.5 metres. A later field boundary, running northwest to southeast, clips the southwestern edge of the monument, truncating it and serving as a reminder that agricultural activity has been rearranging this landscape for centuries on top of whatever ritual or commemorative use the barrow once served. A pond lies approximately 30 metres to the southwest, adding to the sense that water has long defined this particular corner of Wexford.
