It measures roughly 21.8 metres east to west and 18.1 metres north to south, rising only between 0.2 and 0.4 metres above the surrounding ground for most of its perimeter, though reaching a maximum height of 1.2 metres in places. The grass-covered interior sits flush with the edge, and the stone that defines the platform may simply be naturally occurring fractured bedrock rather than deliberate construction. What makes it genuinely puzzling is the western side, which has a jagged, irregular profile consistent with quarrying activity, meaning the shape visitors see today may owe as much to stone extraction as to any original design intention.

The site appears on the 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, where it is shown as a roughly rectangular enclosed copse of mixed trees, suggesting that by the nineteenth century the ground was wooded and bounded in some deliberate way. Whether the enclosure the trees once occupied was itself ancient, or whether the planting simply followed the line of earlier earthworks, is not clear. What is clear is that the surrounding field system is extensive and spans multiple periods, placing this ambiguous little platform within a much longer story of land use in the area. Approximately 44 metres to the south-south-east lies a cashel, a type of stone-walled enclosure associated with early medieval settlement in Ireland, which raises the possibility that the two features were once part of a connected landscape of activity, though no firm relationship between them has been established.
