By the time archaeologists from the Archaeological Survey of Ireland arrived to record it in 2008, there was nothing left to see. The ground had been levelled, the subtle earthworks absorbed back into improved pasture, and no trace remained of a monument that had still been visible, if only just, within living memory. It is a site defined almost entirely by its own disappearance.

When O'Dwyer recorded the monument in 1964, he described a circular platform roughly 99 feet, or 30.2 metres, in diameter, its edges raised to about 3 feet above the surrounding ground, with faint traces of a fosse still discernible. A fosse is simply a ditch, typically cut around the outer edge of an enclosure to define and defend its boundary, and its presence here would have been consistent with the kind of ringfort or enclosed settlement common across the Irish midlands and west during the early medieval period. The monument sat on a slight north-east facing slope in County Limerick, some 110 metres east of a townland boundary with Killeenavera, and a second enclosure of the same type lay about 120 metres to the south-east. What is striking is that even in 1964 the remains were already faint enough that O'Dwyer felt the need to include a hand-drawn profile to illustrate the platform's slight elevation. The site does not appear on Ordnance Survey Ireland's historic maps at all, suggesting it had been reduced or obscured well before those surveys were made.

For anyone wishing to visit, the honest assessment is that there is nothing to observe on the ground. Aerial and satellite imagery, including Google Earth orthoimages from 2002 and 2018, confirms that the monument is not visible from above either. A field boundary that once bisected the area of the monument on an older OS six-inch map has since been removed, further altering the landscape. What the site offers is less a physical encounter than a lesson in how quickly archaeology can vanish when land use changes; in the space of a few decades between O'Dwyer's survey and the ASI's return visit, an ancient earthwork became, effectively, a coordinate on a database.
