Overgrown, low flat-topped mound (diam. c. 15m; H 0.5m) separated by a grass-covered berm (Wth 8.5m) from a wet, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth c. 4m; D 0.2-0.4m). A grass-covered outer berm (Wth c. 11m) separates the fosse from a slight outer fosse (Wth 2.5m; max. D 0.5m) NE-SE. The outer fosse is visible NW-S (max. ext. diam. c. 65m) on vertical aerial photographs (ACAP, V186/4-6).

A low, flat-topped barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, representing a common form of burial monument in Ireland during this period. Its location within a natural basin may reflect ritual or symbolic landscape use, though its wider significance remains unclear due to lack of detailed excavation or contextual records.
