Sitting on a north-facing slope in rough pasture, roughly 95 metres east of the townland boundary with Ballyguileataggle, it presents itself as a scrub-covered, roughly circular depression in the ground. Whether it was made by human hands in any meaningful historical sense remains genuinely unclear. The compilers who recorded it have been candid about this: the site is of doubtful antiquity, and may simply be the remains of a small quarry or gravel pit rather than anything older or more deliberate.

What gives the site a quiet interest is the way it has moved in and out of the documentary record. The first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map, produced around 1840, does not mark it at all. By the time the 25-inch revision was published in 1897, it had appeared, recorded as a sunken rectangular-shaped area or hollow depression measuring approximately 18 metres north to south and 18 metres east to west, tucked into the north-east corner of a field. Two field boundaries, both thought to post-date 1700, cut across the feature from the north and east, which complicates any attempt to date it. By the time aerial orthophotographs were taken between 2005 and 2012, and again on a Google Earth image from June 2018, the shape had softened further into something more circular, its edges blurred by encroaching scrub and the levelling effect of those later boundaries. The record was compiled by Fiona Rooney and uploaded in April 2021.

Access to the site is not straightforward; it lies in private farmland and there is no marked path or public approach. The rough pasture and scrub cover mean that the depression is easier to read from aerial imagery than from ground level, where it can appear as little more than an uneven patch of vegetation. Anyone with a serious interest in the feature would do well to consult the Ordnance Survey orthophotographs and the 1897 25-inch map before visiting, as the cartographic record reveals the shape more clearly than the ground itself is likely to. The boundary lines that transect it from the north and east are probably the most visible features remaining in the landscape today.
