Situated on the crest of a ridge at the rear of Glenaraneen House. The ground falls away steeply to the Slade valley and there is a stream to the S of the site. A ring barrow, the southernmost (ext. diam. 14m) of three, is defined by an outer bank (Wth 2.3-2.5m; H 1.2m) and inner fosse (Wth 2.5m; D0.45m)(DU024-009002-). The southern section of this site is formed by the bank of the outer enclosing area.
