This is a ring barrow, a prehistoric burial monument type found across Ireland, typically consisting of a central raised area surrounded by a ditch and an outer bank. What survives here is modest in scale but coherent enough in form to read clearly on the ground, if you know what you are looking at.

The monument occupies a gentle east-facing slope. Its central area measures roughly four metres in diameter, enclosed by an earthen scarped edge. Around that runs a shallow fosse, which is simply a ditch cut into the ground, and beyond the fosse a low broad external bank. The whole structure spans roughly four to five metres across in total width. One detail that complicates the otherwise tidy geometry is that the external bank and the outer edge of the fosse are almost entirely absent on the north and north-west sides, whether through erosion, agricultural disturbance, or original construction that was never completed in that direction is not recorded. The interior of the central platform slopes very slightly to the south-east. A second barrow of the same general type lies approximately one hundred metres to the east-south-east, suggesting this part of the Tipperary landscape was used, at some point in prehistory, as a place set aside for the dead.
