This is a ring barrow, a type of funerary monument typically consisting of a central mound surrounded by a circular ditch, known as a fosse, and an outer earthen bank. What survives here is almost ghostly in its subtlety: the central mound rises no more than fourteen centimetres above the surrounding ground, the fosse is barely a shallow depression, and the outer bank amounts to little more than a gentle ripple in the turf.

The monument was not identified by fieldwork on the ground but by an aerial photograph taken as part of the Bruff aerial survey, referenced by Doody in 1993. Seen from above, the circular enclosure becomes legible in a way it simply cannot be from field level. The mound measures roughly nine metres across from north to south and just under nine metres east to west, making it a compact feature sitting on the crest of a low hillock in gently undulating farmland, with a stream running east to west some seventy metres to the north. The aerial photograph also suggests the barrow sits immediately north-east of a quarry or natural hillock, which may partly explain its survival: slightly raised ground and marginal spots sometimes escaped the most intensive ploughing. However, the monument has not come through entirely unscathed. At some point the field was levelled off, and that agricultural activity appears to have further reduced what was already a fragile and low-lying structure.
