The 1907 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map shows the spot, but only as an area of scrub, with no indication of its funerary significance. It has never been recorded in the Irish Folklore Commission's collections either, meaning whatever knowledge surrounds it has circulated only in local memory, unwritten and uncollected.

The site itself is modest in scale, a slightly raised and overgrown area measuring roughly 23 metres west-northwest to east-southeast and 13 metres north-northeast to south-southwest. Among the undergrowth, numerous stones are visible, thought to be field stones in the main rather than any kind of formal monument. Field stones are the loose surface rocks cleared from agricultural land over generations, and their presence here could suggest either deliberate placement as grave markers or simply the gradual accumulation of cleared material on ground that was left untended. The raised, undulating landscape around it is typical of the drumlin-scattered terrain of County Monaghan, shaped by glacial deposits that give the county its characteristic bumpy topography. What distinguishes this particular rise from the surrounding land is the local knowledge attached to it, knowledge that has apparently never been committed to paper in any folklore archive or cartographic record.
