In pasture, prominently sited close to break of slope at SE end of a ridge. The location provides excellent views, with the Ox Mountains on the horizon at E−S, and Nephin Mountain and the Nephin Beg range visible to W. There is a stream c. 55m to S at the base of the ridge slope. Circular platform (diam.12.2m) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 1.8-2m) with an outer earthen bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.7; ext. H 0.9m). Overall diameter is 20m. The outer bank is compact and well-defined, except for a low section at NW-NNE. At SE there is a causeway (Wth 1.4m) over the fosse, and a corresponding low area (Wth 0.6m) in the outer bank, but it is not clear if this is a primary feature of the barrow. To N, 0.8m outside the bank, is a low, sod-covered linear feature (L 4m; Wth 1.2m; H 0.6m) of uncertain significance; it may be a field clearance heap or remnant of a field division.
