On top of the low, broad ridge which forms the spine of the Little Curragh and which also carries three other possible ditch-barrows; (KD022-083----) c. 45m to the SE, (KD022-081---- and KD022-082----) c. 140m to the ESE, a large ring-barrow (KD022-042----) c. 110m to the SE and a second large ring-barrow (KD022-043----) c. 200m to the ESE. A fourth ditch-barrow (KD022-080----) lies c. 190m to NE. Visible on an aerial photograph (DoD, 1999). A slightly raised circular area (diam. 7.4m) is defined by a very shallow fosse (Wth 1.4-1.7m; D 0.2m). A footpath track bisects the interior N-S. In the SE quadrant different vegetation growth forms a well defined a circular area (diam 1.8m) and six other examples of this occur immediately outside the monument E-S-W. Their origin, function and relationship with the barrow is unclear. (Similar circular features, but represented by very shallow depressions, occur at another ditch-barrow (KD022-074----) c. 685m to the NW.)
