The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on poorly drained W facing slope overlooking Clodiagh River in mountain valley. River runs through base of mountain valley from N to S. Higher ground overlooks barrow to E. Well preserved site consisting of a low oval-shaped sunken area (diam. 7.5m N-S) enclosed by a slight bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.1m) and outer fosse (base Wth 2m; ext. D 0.2m). Overall diameter of site measures 21m N-S; 16m E-W. Not clear whether the sunken area in the centre is enclosed by a bank or is this just a bank created by the sunken interior.
