A circular earthwork, 17m in overall diameter. It consists of a low central mound 6m in diameter and 0.2m in height, defined a shallow ditch 0.5m in width. Around this central mound and ditch is a slightly higher enclosing bank, roughly 3m in width and 0.3m in height. Around this enclosing bank is one further ditch, with a second, more subtle enclosing bank around it (1m in width, 0.15m in height). The earthwork may be the remains of a prehistoric barrow, akin to LI031-237 in Monaster South (for parallels elsewhere in Limerick and Tipperary, see Doody 1993; Doody 2008). 6m north of this earthwork are the remains of a separate sub-rectangular enclosure while 5m to the west are the remains of an old field boundary, running in a straight line from north to south. These features may also be pre-modern but are not connected to this circular earthwork.
