The ring-barrow, a circular earthen mound typically dating from the Bronze Age and surrounded by a low bank or ditch that gives the monument its name, has all but dissolved back into the landscape. It survives not so much as a physical presence but as a faint trace, a crop or soil mark that only becomes legible from above.

The monument measures approximately seven metres in diameter, a modest footprint even by the standards of smaller ring-barrows. What is known about it comes not from excavation but from aerial photography. The outline was identified on Ordnance Survey Ireland orthophotos taken between 2005 and 2012, and a further faint impression of the same feature appeared on Digital Globe orthophotos from 2011 to 2013. The record was compiled by Caimin O'Brien, drawing on details provided by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly, and was uploaded to the national record in October 2020. That the monument was identified at all is a reminder of how much of Ireland's prehistoric archaeology remains legible only through systematic aerial survey, particularly in lowland areas where millennia of agriculture and drainage have reduced ancient earthworks to near-invisibility at ground level.

Visitors to this area should temper their expectations accordingly. The reclaimed grassland setting means there is little to see on the ground, and access to the immediate vicinity would depend on the usual courtesies extended to working farmland. The best time to look for soil and crop marks in such landscapes is during dry summers, when differential moisture retention in disturbed ground brings buried features briefly to the surface. Anyone with an interest in landscape archaeology might find it worth consulting the relevant OSi orthophoto layers online before visiting, since the aerial view remains the clearest way to appreciate the monument's circular outline against the flat terrain surrounding it.
