Situated on a steep N-facing slope which is furze covered, and falls away to a dried-up valley. A ring-barrow identified by Healy (1975, 1-19) as being double-banked. There are man-made terraces on the slope to the SW of the ring-barrow. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy Revised upload on 7 July 2018
A Neolithic ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early to Middle Bronze Age, characterized by its double-banked structure. Such monuments are significant as they reflect early funerary and ritual practices in the Irish landscape.
