Surveyed in 2012 and described by McGuinness (2012, 37) as following: ‘Small, flat-topped subcircular earthen mound (Diam. 7m NS x 5.5m EW), up to 0.65m above surrounding ground on high SW side, on top of low ridge running NE-SW but carved through by the N4 road. There is an Ordnance Survey benchmark on upper surface of mound. There is an earthfast boulder, possibly a kerbstone, on WSW side; a second earthfast boulder on N side might also be a kerbstone, although it is currently 0.6m beyond edge of mound. Running downhill to SE directly from mound, and then up onto a second ridge to SE, is what appears to be a faint, slightly raised trackway 2.2m in width. At base of ridge 25m to SE of mound, W side of trackway appears to have been built up with stones to form a terrace over lower ground to W. This 'trackway' is possibly the remains of an old field-boundary, and this is supported by the presence of a linear arrangement of large boulders along it on slope just SE of mound. Barrow at lrishtown (WM019-030----) is clearly visible to SW. Frewin Hill (WM011-133----) is visible to W and Knockdrin (WM012-183----) to E'.
