The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in pastureland. On inspection in May 1983, this poorly preserved circular barrow (diam. 19m) was defined by a low bank (H 0.5m above field level) with indistinct edges. Its centre was dished and was one metre below the top of the bank. On a re-inspection in April 2010, it was noted that an ESB pole had been erected at the NW limits of the site.
