A low but well-preserved, gently domed, circular mound (base diam. 13m; upper surface diams. 11.6m E-W; 7.8m N-S; H 0.4-0.8m) is girdled by a narrow berm (Wth 1.5-2m).

Stepped barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its construction and preservation offer insight into burial practices and landscape use in the Curragh region.
