What is recorded here
A small, level, circular area (diam. 5.4m) is enclosed by narrow shallow fosse and outer bank. Modern interference has resulted in some ten, small, regular trenches projecting from the inner face of the bank towards the interior. (O Riordáin 1950, 275: Site L; scaled section N-S Plate XXVII)

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, characterized by its circular enclosure with fosse and bank. Its significance lies in representing a common funerary monument type in the Irish lowlands, though its specific cultural or ritual role remains unclear due to modern disturbance.
