Neolithic ring-barrow, c. 2500–2000 BCE. This type of monument typically marks an early form of burial practice, often associated with elite or significant individuals, and reflects the ceremonial landscape of Neolithic 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.
