The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in flat terrain, in a field directly adjacent to the Royal Canal, with views restricted to adjacent fields, is a very regular ring-ditch (overall diam. 9m). The circular interior is enclosed by a continuous ring-ditch and probably represents a levelled barrow.
The monument was reported by Jean-Charles Caillère and was identified from Google Earth imagery visible on the 7 May 2019.
