Classified as an enclosure in the RMP (1996). A subcircular earthen platform (19.95m N-S; 14m E-W) defined by a steep scarp (H 1.4-2.1m) surrounded by a berm (Wth 5m), with a second, outer scarp (H 2m) from W-N-E.

Neolithic passage tomb; dates to the early to middle Neolithic period (c. 3700–3000 BCE). Its classification as an enclosure suggests it may be part of a larger ritual or settlement complex, indicating significant ceremonial or communal use in prehistoric Ireland.
