In low-lying wet pasture, 45m NW of a townland boundary with Ballyhurst, excellent views of Knockseefin to WNW. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Situated within large enclosure (LI024-049001-) and one of nine associated ring-barrows of which eight are satellite ring-barrows (LI024-049001-/02-/03-/04-/05-/06-/07-; LI024-288/308----) located outside the large enclosure. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a low profile circular-shaped area (5.3m NW-SE; 5m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (Wth 0.8-1.15m; H 0.12-0.19m), with fosse (Wth 3.2-3.35m; D 0.14-0.25m) and an outer bank (Wth 3.3-3.95m; int. H 0.14-0.25m; ext. H 0.05-0.15m) which are best preserved from SSW-W-N-E-SSE, levelled from SSE-S-SSW. The interior has a very slight SE-facing slope and is grass covered.
