The National Monuments Service's description
'This site is located 100m to the west of KE030-010----, recorded as an earthwork but interpreted here....... as a ring-barrow. This particular example has not been disturbed by field clearance and is an impressive example of a fulacht fiadh. It measures 8m N-S and 8.6m E-W. The trough area is located to the north-west and measures 2m X 1.5m. A stream runs past the site on this side at a distance of 15m. The mound is a maximum of 0.80m in height.'
