It measures around 27 metres across and takes the form of a ring barrow, a type of prehistoric funerary monument defined by a low encircling bank and an accompanying fosse, or ditch, cut into the ground inside or outside that bank. The overall effect, from the air or on aerial mapping, is of a faint ring pressed into the hilltop, the kind of feature that rewards patience and good light.

The site was reported to the National Monuments Service by Ros Ó Maoldúin, and its presence on mapping imagery from the 2013 to 2018 OSi MapGenie survey brought it to wider attention, though it remains tentatively classified as a possible barrow pending further investigation. What makes the hilltop particularly interesting is the company this feature keeps. Some 30 metres to the east lies a separate enclosure, and around 200 metres to the south-west, on the same hill, sits another barrow of unclassified type. The clustering of such monuments on a single elevated ridge is not unusual in Irish prehistory, where prominent hillsides were repeatedly chosen as places of burial and ritual across many centuries. Closer still, approximately 70 metres to the south, stands an 18th-century turret, a reminder that later occupants of this landscape also found the high ground worth claiming, though for rather different reasons.
