This is a ring barrow, a type of prehistoric burial monument in which a central mound is surrounded by a fosse, or earthen ditch, forming a concentric ring around the whole structure. They are found across Ireland, typically dating to the Bronze Age, and they tend to turn up in quiet agricultural land where they have simply been left alone, too awkward to plough, too unremarkable to demolish.

This particular example was recorded by Denis Power and uploaded to the archaeological record in August 2011. The mound stands approximately two metres high, with a crest diameter of around six metres and a base diameter of roughly twelve metres. The surrounding fosse is modest, measuring about forty-five centimetres deep and one and a half metres wide, but its concentric relationship to the mound is clearly legible on the ground. What makes this barrow a little more interesting than most is a feature on the north side: a ledge sits midway up the mound, from which a ramp ascends to the flat summit. Whether this feature is original or later in origin is not noted in the record, but its presence gives the mound a slightly deliberate, almost architectural quality that most earthworks of this kind do not have.

The site sits in pasture on generally level terrain, and the mound itself is covered in scrub overgrowth, which means it can take a moment to read properly from a distance. The vegetation, while it obscures the profile somewhat, also helps preserve the earthwork from agricultural disturbance. Visitors interested in prehistoric landscape features will want to approach from the north side to appreciate the ledge and ramp, which are the most unusual aspects of the monument. Access would need to be arranged with the landowner, as with most sites of this kind in Irish farmland. There is nothing here to interpret or explain the barrow on site; it rewards those who arrive already curious about what they are looking at.
