Ring barrows are among the more understated monuments in the Irish landscape: circular burial mounds enclosed by a ditch, known as a fosse, and an outer earthen bank, the whole arrangement built to mark the dead and, perhaps, to separate their world from the living one beyond the bank. This particular example has been partially flattened in recent years, which means its measurements, while still recorded, carry a caveat.

Even in its diminished state, the structure retains a legible geometry. The central mound, measuring twelve metres across in both directions, rises only about twenty centimetres above the base of the surrounding fosse, a shallow but still perceptible swell in the ground. That fosse averages three metres in width and sits roughly forty centimetres below the crest of the outer bank, which itself has an average width of five metres and stands about forty centimetres above the exterior ground level, reaching a modest maximum of half a metre on its northern side. The barrow sits immediately east of a north-to-south field boundary, and that boundary, or something like it, may well have influenced how the land around the monument has been managed and altered over time. The site was recorded by Michael Connolly during a survey of the Lee Valley area carried out in 1996 and 1997, by which point the levelling had already begun to affect the monument's profile.
