What is recorded here
In marshy pasture, on a N-facing slope. Circular mound (diam. 5.1m) enclosed by a shallow fosse (Wth 2.8m) with an external earthen bank (Wth 4.4m). During ploughing in the early 1960s the top of the mound, which is very uneven, was removed and subsequentially reconstituted.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE), representing a type of burial monument common in Ireland during the Bronze Age. Its construction with a central mound, surrounding fosse, and external bank reflects ritual landscape practices and social organisation of the period.
