Situated on a N-facing slope in pasture-land amongst some rock outcrop in an upland region. Good views of mountain valley to the N, higher ground to the S. Site consists of a roughly rectangular shaped flat-topped platform (int. diam. 6m N-S; 3.1m E-W) or mound defined by a scarp (H 0.2m) and inner fosse (Wth 1m; ext. D 0.25m) with outer bank (top Wth. 0.7m; base Wth 1m; ext. H 0.2m). The shape of the central platform is unusual for a ring-barrow, which may cast doubts about its classification. The shape of the platfrom is more like ahut site but there is no eNtrance feature and there is an internal fosse. According to local folklore from the Schools Manuscript there was a legend that there was a grave of three kings in this townland. This folklore may have been associated with this monument.
