Roughly ten metres across, the feature is subcircular in shape, its perimeter formed by stones of varying sizes that may simply have been cleared from the surrounding fields over generations and dumped at the edge of an older earthwork. That kind of accumulation is common enough in Irish farming landscapes, and it is precisely what makes this place uncertain: the boulders may be masking something older underneath.

The structure appears on the 1940 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map as a small circular enclosure defined by a field bank, visible in an area of small fields that no longer match the landscape around it, much of which has since been drained and reclaimed. On the ground, the grass-covered ring measures roughly 8.75 metres east to west and 8.25 metres north to south internally. The enclosing band of granite is between two and three metres wide but only 0.2 to 0.7 metres high, suggesting either deliberate flattening or slow burial under field spoil. There is some evidence of an original earthen bank surviving on the western side, and a narrow entrance gap of around half a metre opens to the east-northeast. A barrow, in this context, would be a prehistoric burial mound, typically circular and enclosed, often reduced by centuries of agriculture to little more than a crop mark or a slight rise. This feature fits the general form, though the accumulation of field clearance stones around it makes certainty impossible. Lady's Island Lough lies roughly sixty metres to the west, a brackish coastal lagoon with its own long history of religious significance, and the proximity is suggestive without being conclusive. The site remains, officially, a possible barrow: something that might be ancient, and might be mundane, and has not yet been convincingly shown to be either.
