A ring barrow is a prehistoric burial monument, typically a low central mound or platform ringed by one or more ditches and banks of earth and stone, and finding three of them set out in deliberate alignment, spaced only metres apart along the same narrow ridge top, suggests something more considered than accident. The southernmost of the three sits in a thicket of blackthorn and hazel, which has done the monument no favours in terms of visibility, though it has probably helped protect it from disturbance. The Trimoge River meanders roughly a hundred metres to the south and west, bending close to the northwest, and on a clear day a gap in the surrounding ridges offers a distant line of sight toward Nephin Mountain and the Nephin Beg Range, a reminder that even modest elevated ground can carry a certain deliberate quality of placement.

The barrow itself is compact and carefully layered. A central circular platform, just over five metres in diameter and about a quarter of a metre high, sits at the core. Around it runs a ditch, or fosse, between one and a half and just under two metres wide, then a bank of compacted earth and stone roughly two metres across, then a second outer fosse nearly two metres wide. There are possible traces of a further outer bank to the north-northeast, and a clear gap of about one and a half metres breaks through the outermost bank at that same compass point, which may or may not be original. The monument was already recorded on Ordnance Survey maps of 1838 and 1931, confirming it has been a recognisable feature in the landscape for well over a century and a half. Overgrowth now obscures the southern half of the structure, and a field ditch and fence run immediately to the southeast, but the central platform and the intervening bank between the two fosses remain well defined beneath the scrub.
