The site consists of a standing stone that emerges from what appears to be a low, flat-topped cairn measuring approximately seven metres from north to south and rising just 40 centimetres above the surrounding ground. The cairn’s southeastern edge still retains visible kerb stones, the only remaining evidence of what would have once formed a complete boundary around the burial mound.

Positioned on elevated ground with commanding views to the north, this burial cairn represents a type of monument commonly constructed during Ireland’s Bronze Age, roughly 2500 to 500 BCE. These structures served as burial places for communities’ deceased, often marked by standing stones that acted as permanent memorials. The careful placement on higher ground wasn’t merely practical; it ensured the monument would be visible across the landscape, marking territory and honouring the dead.

Though time and weather have reduced the cairn to a subtle rise in the earth, the surviving kerb stones along its southeastern side hint at its original construction. These stones would have formed part of a retaining wall that held the cairn material in place, a building technique that required considerable communal effort and speaks to the importance these monuments held for ancient communities. The standing stone, still proudly vertical after millennia, continues to mark this spot as a place of significance in the Irish landscape.
