The land around them has been worked for generations, the ridge-and-furrow pattern of lazy beds, the old cultivation strips once used to grow potatoes, still visible running north-north-east to south-south-west across the field. Whoever made those beds knew the mounds were there, and left them alone.

The barrow described in the national record sits on a low natural rise in the ground, a subtle elevation that would have been meaningful to whoever chose the spot. It is a ring-barrow, a form of prehistoric burial monument consisting of a roughly circular mounded area enclosed by an earthen bank, an outer ditch or fosse, and in some cases a further counter-scarp bank beyond that. This particular example measures roughly nine metres across its interior on the north-south axis, the whole structure modest in height but complete in its concentric geometry. The interior has a slightly dished profile, which the record compiled by Denis Power notes may indicate that the mound was excavated at some point in the past, probably long before any formal archaeological interest in such sites. Local tradition holds that an earthen cup, likely a small ceramic vessel of the kind sometimes placed with burials, was found in one of the four barrows in this field, though which one is not recorded. Three companion monuments lie nearby: one approximately 45 metres to the south-west, and two others roughly 50 and 150 metres to the south respectively, making this a genuine funerary landscape rather than an isolated survival.

The site sits in working farmland and there is no formal visitor infrastructure. The lazy beds and the barrows are most legible from ground level in low winter or early morning light, when raking shadows bring the slight undulations of the earth into relief. The monument is subtle enough that without knowing where to look, it would be easy to walk past it entirely, which is, in its own way, part of the point.
