It measures 25.8 metres in diameter and rises to a maximum height of 2.4 metres at its southern edge, making it a substantial presence in the field. What catches the eye is a dished hollow at the centre and a gap roughly 1.5 metres wide on the eastern side that looks, convincingly, like an entrance.

That combination of features gives the mound the appearance of a barrow, a type of burial monument common across Ireland and Britain from the Neolithic through to the early medieval period, typically consisting of an earthen or stone-covered mound raised over one or more burials. The resemblance here is persuasive enough to be noted, but the record stops short of confirming it. Both the central hollow and the gap to the east may have resulted not from original design but from quarrying, the mound having been dug into at some point for its stone or earth. This kind of interference is common on Irish monuments that sat in working agricultural land for centuries, and it can blur the distinction between deliberate architectural features and later damage almost beyond recovery. Whether the mound was ever a funerary monument, a marker of territory, or something else entirely remains an open question.
