The National Monuments Service's description

In level pasture, on the demesne lands of Faha House located 220m to NW. Not depicted on the 1840 OS 6-inch map or the 1897 25-inch map. Earthwork depicted as a small mound enclosed by a on the 1923 OS 6-inch map. No surface remains visible today. Faint cropmark of levelled earthwork visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 19/11/2019 and Digital Globe orthophoto 2011-13. Representation of earthwork on revsied OS 6-inch map suggests possible barrow monument, however its location on demesne lands may suggest the remains of a designed landscape feature.
