A Neolithic ditch barrow, dating to the 4th–3rd millennia BCE; it represents an early form of burial monument characterized by a central mound surrounded by a ditch, reflecting early funerary practices in Ireland.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
