A circular mound (diam. 4m; H 0.9m) surrounded by a fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.2m) ENE-N with short stretches of an external earthen bank (Wth 2.6m; H 0.8m) evident at E, S and NW. The top of the mound is concave with a slight hollow (diam. c. 2.3m; D 0.1m) in the centre. The NE edge of the ring-barrow has been removed by quarrying. A disused field boundary extends to SW from the fosse at W. Another ring-barrow (SL038-005----) lies c. 70m to SW.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Christian or medieval period, associated with burial practices in the Achonry region. Its construction with a fosse and partial external bank reflects a regional variant of barrow architecture, possibly linked to high-status or communal burials.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
