The mound itself, when first described in any detail, was barely recognisable, a flat, roughly square platform measuring about 3.35 metres by 3.65 metres and rising only around 0.45 metres above the surrounding ground. That description came from R.R. Brash in 1879, and even then the site was already fading. A third stone, which once stood at the southwest corner to match its neighbours, had been smashed; Brash was told it had previously reached a similar height to the others.

The two survivors, the northeast and northwest stones, stand 2.9 metres apart along an east-northeast to west-southwest axis. The northeast stone reaches 1.9 metres in height; the northwest, slightly broader, stands at 1.85 metres. What distinguishes this site beyond its quiet dilapidation is the ogham inscription carved on that northwest stone. Ogham is an early medieval script, typically dating from roughly the fourth to the seventh centuries, formed by a series of notches and lines cut along a central stem, often the edge of a standing stone. The presence of an ogham inscription here places the burial within what may have been an early ecclesiastical enclosure, a category of site that often preserves the traces of Christian communities predating the formal parish system. All three stones were still present when P.J. Hartnett recorded the site in 1939, confirming that the southwest stone survived at least to that point, or that its stump did.
