In level pasture, at the foot of the Bricklieve Mountains. A slightly raised circular area (int. diam. 12.2m; H 0.25m) surrounded by waterlogged ground, possibly indicating a silted-up fosse. The perimeter is planted with trees.

A Neolithic ditch barrow, dating to approximately 4000–2500 BCE, likely used as a burial monument. Its waterlogged fosse suggests early attempts at enclosure, reflecting regional funerary practices in upland western Ireland.
