What gives it away, on closer inspection, is a combination of geometry and water: a subcircular enclosure, a deliberately scarped edge, and a surrounding ditch that gradually opens out into a spring-fed pool at its north-western end, where the land and the water seem to have always been in conversation with each other.

The site is classified as a barrow, a term covering a broad family of prehistoric burial or ceremonial mounds, though the specific function of any individual example is rarely straightforward to determine. The enclosure here measures 13.5 metres north to south, though its eastern side has been truncated over time, leaving only around 8 metres of the east-west dimension intact. The defining feature is a scarped edge, essentially a deliberate cut into the ground to create a raised or stepped boundary, running from the south-east around to the north-east. Outside this sits a fosse, the old term for a ditch, nearly 10 metres wide in total and almost a metre deep at its base. Towards the north-west, that fosse does something unusual: it opens into a water-filled hollow fed by a natural spring. Whether this was incidental to the original design or integral to it is unknown, but the pairing of an enclosed earthwork with a permanent water source is the kind of detail that tends to catch an archaeologist's attention. The record was compiled by Denis Power and uploaded in November 2013.

The site lies in gently rolling farmland, and as with many earthworks in Irish pasture, access would depend on landowner permission. There are no formal visitor facilities. The best conditions for reading the earthwork are during late autumn or winter, when low-angle light rakes across the ground and the grass is short enough to reveal the subtle changes in elevation. Look first for the ditch line, which is the most legible feature from ground level, then follow it around to the north-west corner where the spring depression makes the whole arrangement feel less like a relic and more like something still quietly in use.
