The boundary line between Ballincolloo and Ballynamona cuts across the landscape and leaves this particular monument isolated to the north, administratively adrift from its companions yet physically occupying the same quiet stretch of reclaimed pasture. That administrative accident is part of what makes it easy to overlook, even for those who know the related monuments exist nearby.

A ring barrow is a low earthen burial mound, typically dating to the Bronze Age, encircled by a ditch and sometimes an outer bank. This example follows that basic form but departs from it in one notable way: it is, as archaeologist O'Kelly noted in 1944, somewhat larger than the usual barrow of this type in the barony. O'Kelly described a very low mound surrounded by a slight fosse, which is the term for a shallow ditch or trench, outside which sits a definite bank, and beyond that a second fosse. The maximum height of the bank reaches just one and a half feet, roughly 0.48 metres, while the overall diameter spans sixty feet, or about 18.2 metres. O'Kelly himself raised the possibility that the structure might be a small fort rather than a burial monument, but concluded that the continuous fosse made a funerary interpretation more likely. The monument was already recorded on the Cassini edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map as a small circular platform defined by a scarp, confirming its presence in the landscape long before modern aerial survey.

The site sits within a field system and is not formally accessible as a visitor attraction. Aerial imagery from the Ordnance Survey Ireland orthophotos taken between 2005 and 2012, and Google Earth images from September 2018 and 2019, show the circular form still legible on the ground, defined by the overgrown fosse. Anyone approaching should note that this is agricultural land and permission from the landowner would be necessary before entering. The monument is subtle enough that, at ground level, the slight rise and the encircling depression can be easy to misread as natural variation in the field. Knowing what to expect, a shallow ring rather than a prominent mound, is the only reliable way to find it.
