On a slight rise in pastureland. On inspection in May 1983, this poorly preserved circular barrow (diam. 19m) was defined by a low bank (H 0.5m above field level) with indistinct edges. Its centre was dished and was one metre below the top of the bank. On a re-inspection in April 2010, it was noted that an ESB pole had been erected at the NW limits of the site.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
