A ring barrow is a prehistoric funerary monument, typically consisting of a low central mound enclosed by a surrounding ditch, known as a fosse, and sometimes an outer bank. What makes this one quietly interesting is the care apparently taken in its construction: the interior has been built up on its southern side to create a level platform within, suggesting that whoever raised this monument was attentive to both ritual and practicality on an uneven hillside.

The site was identified during a field survey carried out by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly on 17 February 2009. The circular area measures roughly five metres north to south and just under five metres east to west, making it a compact example of the type. The fosse ranges between 1.2 and 1.95 metres in width and survives to a depth of around ten centimetres, while the remains of a possible bank, preserved only in the south-east quadrant, stands to an internal height of up to eighteen centimetres. A drainage channel running north to south abuts the fosse on its western side, a detail that complicates any straightforward reading of the monument's edges and hints at the long agricultural history that has shaped and reshaped the ground around it.
