What appears at first glance to be an unremarkable grassy mound is in fact a ring-barrow, a type of funerary monument associated with the Bronze Age, in which a burial was enclosed by a circular ditch, known as a fosse, and an earthen bank. These monuments are found across Ireland, but they are easily overlooked, their profiles worn almost flat by centuries of agriculture and weather.

This particular example is modest in its surviving dimensions, the circular area measuring roughly six metres north to south and five and a half metres east to west. The fosse that defines it is 1.6 metres wide, though it has been largely filled in at its west-southwest side where a drainage channel has cut across the monument. Traces of an external bank survive to the south-east and south-south-west, and possibly to the north, with the bank reaching an internal height of about half a metre in places. What makes the site quietly notable is its relationship to a neighbouring monument: aerial photography identified this barrow as one of a conjoined pair, its companion lying immediately to the north-east. Conjoined ring-barrows, where two such enclosures share or abut their earthworks, suggest deliberate placement and possibly a connection between the individuals or groups commemorated, though the specifics are long beyond recovery. The pairing is only legible from the air, which is partly why the site went unappreciated at ground level for so long.
