A low rise in the grass is all that remains, and even that is subtle enough to be dismissed as a natural irregularity in the field. What makes it quietly interesting is less what survives than what was once recorded: the 1921 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map shows a small circular mound roughly ten metres in diameter, precisely plotted and noted, now reduced to almost nothing.

The site is tentatively identified as a ring-barrow, a type of prehistoric funerary monument typically consisting of a low central mound enclosed by a circular ditch and outer bank. They are generally associated with the Bronze Age, though their use and reuse spans a considerable period. The uncertainty in this case is not unusual, since the surface evidence is so degraded that a confident classification is difficult. What lends the identification some weight is the local concentration of similar monuments: several comparable sites have been recorded in the immediate area, suggesting this part of Galway once held a cluster of such burial features, the remains of a landscape that was, at some point in prehistory, organised around the dead in ways we can now only partially reconstruct.
