The inner fosse is quite slight and shallow. The intervening earth and stone bank is much disturbed and the outer fosse is visible intermittently at N, S and SW. Within the interior is a very low rounded rise (diam. 5m). Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 12 August 2019

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with burial practices involving circular enclosures and ditches. Its location on a prominent rise suggests ritual or ceremonial significance, common in prehistoric funerary monuments of the period.
