What the Ordnance Survey once recorded on its six-inch maps as a circular mound roughly twenty metres across has, over time, lost its original form to the creeping pressure of ploughing. What remains today is a subrectangular earthen platform, measuring approximately 18.5 metres north to south and 15 metres east to west, rising about 1.3 metres above the surrounding ground. The shift from circular to roughly rectangular is not unusual for earthworks in agricultural landscapes; the edges of a mound that sits close to cultivated fields tend to be clipped and squared off gradually, season by season, until the original geometry is barely legible.

The mound sits immediately east of a trackway, in level ground that gives it little natural drama. It is associated with a recorded cashel, a type of dry-stone ringfort typically used as an enclosed farmstead in early medieval Ireland, listed under the reference GA018-010001. That pairing, a mound beside an enclosure, suggests this was once a more complex site than its present modest profile implies. Whether the mound served a ceremonial, funerary, or domestic function is not recorded, and without excavation such questions tend to stay open. What can be said is that it was considered significant enough to mark on nineteenth-century mapping, which is itself a reasonable measure of local visibility at the time.
