Located in level pastureland at the 300 foot contour. The site comprises a circular round-topped mound (diam. 15m; H 3m). No indication of a fosse (Healy 1975, 16). The well preserved mound is situated on relatively flat land, the field sloping slightly from west to east. Views of the ridge of Fourknocks to north, Mallahow to east.

A circular round-topped mound, possibly a Neolithic passage tomb or Bronze Age cairn; its function and wider significance remain undetermined due to lack of excavation or clear contextual evidence.
