In pasture, located on a rise in an area of rolling limestone grassland bordered 200m to NW by the Deel River. Nephin Mountain is prominently visible to SSW and the Nephin Beg Range extends along the skyline to W.
Circular area (diam. 9.3m; H 0.45m) defined by a fosse (Wth 1.7-2m) with an external bank (Wth 1.9m at S, 2.72m at N; int. H 0.35m at S, 0.6m at N; ext. H 0.3-0.4m). Ext. diam. (mid bank) 14.6m. The central platform is level and well defined by the shallow fosse. The external bank is low but well defined, and is constructed of stony earth. It has a broad external slump at N and NW, and at S merges with the natural fall of ground. A section of the fosse and external bank at E have been overlain by a N–S field fence. There is another ringbarrow (MA038-053001) c. 80 to NW, and a possible cairn (MA038-053003) c. 50m to W. A cluster of other ringbarrows and possible barrows (MA038-050; MA038-051; MA038-052; MA038-146) are located in adjacent fields within a range of c. 150-300m to W, NW and NE. There is a possible ringcairn (MA038-054) c. 300m to SSW.
