The one recorded here is modest almost to the point of invisibility: a circular earthwork barely six metres across, its enclosing bank rising only thirty centimetres above the interior at its highest point. What makes it quietly compelling is not its scale but its company, and the fact that it has survived at all.

A ring barrow is a low funerary mound, typically of Bronze Age date, defined by a circular ditch and an outer bank rather than the steep profile of a more familiar burial mound. This particular example, compiled in the National Monuments record by Denis Power and uploaded in November 2013, sits on a gentle natural rise in the pasture, which may have been part of its original siting logic. A shallow fosse, or ditch, runs around the mound at a depth of roughly fifteen centimetres, with an external bank beyond it reaching a maximum width of just over three metres. A gap of about eighty centimetres on the north-north-east side may represent an original entrance. Three further ring barrows lie within the same field system: one approximately fifty-five metres to the north-west, another about fifty metres to the north, and a third around one hundred metres to the south. Together they suggest a deliberate funerary landscape rather than a single isolated burial.

The ground surface inside the mound is slightly elevated on its eastern side, which surveyors attribute to cattle poaching, the gradual compression and disturbance of soft ground by livestock over time. Older lazy bed cultivation ridges, running roughly north-north-east to south-south-west, cut across the surrounding field but stop short of the monument itself, a small detail that speaks to generations of farmers who were aware something was there and chose to work around it. The site sits in working pasture and there is no formal visitor infrastructure, so the approach is a matter of map-reading and permission. The low profile of the earthwork means you are almost upon it before the circular form becomes clear from ground level.
