On a N-facing slope, in rough, wet pasture, 120m S of the Reask River, which also marks a townland boundary with Brackyle. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. One of two satellite ring-barrows (LI024-292/293----) which are situated 5m to N of a large barrow (LI024-058001-). Monument surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a low profile circular-shaped area (4.75m N-S; 4.4m E-W) defined by a scarp (Wth 0.7-0.95m; H 0.15-0.17m), fosse (Wth 2.7-2.9m; D 0.08-0.2m) and an outer bank (Wth 2.35-2.9m; int. H 0.08-0.2m; ext. H 0.14-0.15m) which are present from NE-E-S-W-N and are obscured by vegetation from N-NNE-NE. The interior is level and clear of vegetation. Monument is visible as a faint, roughly circular-shaped cropmark on OSi orthophoto taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with a burial tradition of circular earthen mounds. Its location and association with satellite barrows suggest a ritual or funerary landscape of local significance.
