In rough upland pasture, on a mountain plateau with panoramic views S, W and N. Croagh Patrick is visible on the distant horizon to W, and the Nephin Beg Range defines the horizon at NNW. At NE ground rises to higher ridges.
Inspected in 1998, this possible ringbarrow is evident as a low, roughly circular platform (14.5m E-W; 12-13m N-S; H 0.5m) defined on the downslope S half by a low scarp. The scarp is indistinct on the N half where the platform is almost flush with exterior ground level.
An earlier report (NMI Topographical Files, undated), recorded this monument as follows: ‘Measures 13m in diameter consisting of a low boat shaped mound and appears to have a stony core. There are slight traces of a surrounding ditch and bank.’ Another possible ringbarrow (MA080-043002-) is 60m upslope to NE.
