This is a ring barrow, a funerary form common to the Bronze Age in Ireland, consisting of a central raised mound encircled by a ditch and an outer earthen bank. The earthworks here are modest but legible: a central mound some 22 metres in diameter and only 0.4 metres high, wrapped in a fosse, which is simply a surrounding ditch, between three and five metres wide, and beyond that a round-topped bank ranging from five to eight metres in width and rising no more than 0.6 metres above the surrounding ground.

The monument appears on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1916, where it is marked with hachures, the small radiating lines cartographers once used to indicate earthen mounds and similar raised features. That it was recorded then, and survives now, is notable given how many such low-profile earthworks have been quietly erased by ploughing or drainage over the intervening century. One detail suggests some later interference: a lowering of the bank on the south-south-west side is thought to be of modern origin, possibly a gap made for access, though the rest of the circuit remains largely intact. The interior of the mound is covered in rushes, which typically colonise ground that holds moisture, and the proximity of a stream roughly 25 metres to the north may partly explain this.
