The fence cuts directly through a ring barrow, leaving only the southern half of the structure visible above ground. What remains is still legible: a semicircular mound roughly twelve metres across, enclosed by a fosse (a shallow ditch) and an outer bank, with a causewayed entrance gap on the southern side. The northern portion, presumably mirroring what survives, has either been levelled by centuries of agricultural activity or simply lies below the current ground surface, invisible without excavation.

A ring barrow is a burial mound of prehistoric origin, typically consisting of a low earthen mound ringed by a ditch and an outer earthen bank. They are associated broadly with the Bronze Age, though dating individual examples without excavation is difficult. This particular example sits on a south-facing slope of rising ground in a mountainous part of Tipperary, positioned not far from a ringfort to the north. The proximity of the two monuments, one a burial feature and one a later enclosed settlement, is a reminder of how repeatedly certain elevated, well-drained pieces of ground attracted human use across successive centuries. The fosse here measures about 1.3 metres wide and the external bank somewhat wider at 2.3 metres, dimensions that suggest a modest but deliberately constructed monument rather than a natural landform.
