The National Monuments Service's description
At foot of S slope of Slievenamon mountain, in flat terrain, under pasture. Woodland to N of E-W field boundary. Raised oval area (diam. 15m N-S; 17.3m E-W) defined by a broad earthen bank (Wth 4.3m; int. H 0.28m; ext. H 1.86m) best preserved in SW quadrant and external fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.3-0.45m). Barrow has suffered from cattle erosion and root damage from trees growing on the bank. Fosse is not visible from SE-E-N. Field clearance dumped along edge of barrow in NE and SE sectors. Bank largely reduced to scarp in N sector.
