The National Monuments Service's description
In poor boggy ground, in a reclaimed field. On a slight height with ground on NW falling away into bog, some 150m away. A ring-barrow in the SW quadrant of a larger circular enclosure (KK001-002002-). The ring-barrow consists of a circular platform (diam. 13.3m) enclosed by a waterlogged fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.3m) and external bank (Wth 3.4m; ext. H 0.3m). There are bulrushes growing in the fosse. The ring-barrow (overall dims. 19.7m) has been preserved, though the field has been reclaimed up to the external bank. A modern field bank and hedge runs NW-SE, immediately NE of the barrow.
