The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located the SE end of a NW–SE ridge, on a level area or slight terrace at the break of slope, with fall of ground to NE.
Depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. 15-20m), and on the 1917 edition as a small circular hachured feature (diam. c.10-15m).
Destroyed during land reclamation; there is no visible trace at ground level. The siting of this monument, and its depiction on the 6-inch map, suggests that it may have been a mound or a type of barrow, perhaps similar to the mound barrow (MA092-033----), located c. 600m to SE in the same townland, or the mound barrow (MA092-012----) located c. 700m to NW.
