What survives is a ring barrow, a type of prehistoric funerary monument consisting of a central burial area enclosed by a circular or near-circular ditch and bank, here reduced by centuries of grazing and weather to almost nothing. The enclosing fosse, a shallow ditch, still traces its subcircular path around the site, and the external bank, though nearly levelled, survives to a height of just 0.3 metres. A faint trace of an outer bank is also visible, and a possible entrance may have opened to the south-west.

Ring barrows are generally associated with the Bronze Age, though the tradition persisted into the Iron Age in some areas, and they are found across Ireland in considerable numbers, often sited on elevated ground with commanding views. This example follows that pattern. It sits on a hillcrest looking out over a stream valley to the east, a position that feels purposeful rather than incidental. Whether that prominence was chosen for visibility, for a relationship between the living and a particular landscape, or for reasons now entirely beyond recovery, is the kind of question the monument raises without answering. The near-levelled condition of the bank is common for such sites in pastureland, where ploughing and livestock have worked steadily against what were never especially massive earthworks to begin with.
