The evidence is slender but persistent: local memory of a mound that once rose from the centre of a large subcircular field, and the account of what happened when it was levelled. Inside, according to those who witnessed it, were six pillars, possibly arranged to mark a burial. The pillars are gone, the mound is gone, and the field itself has been substantially absorbed by farm buildings and reshaped boundaries. Nothing visible survives at the surface.

The Ordnance Survey six-inch maps record the field as it once was, a roughly oval enclosure of around 100 metres by 90 metres, sitting on the southern boundary of the townland of Caltragh. Subcircular enclosures of this kind appear across Ireland in various forms, sometimes as the remains of ringforts, sometimes as burial grounds or ceremonial sites, and occasionally as natural features that accumulated local significance over time. The internal mound, if it was indeed a funerary monument, could belong to any number of periods; upright stone settings have been used to define graves from the Bronze Age through to the early medieval period. Without excavation records or dating evidence, the six pillars remain stubbornly unclassified. What survives today is only slightly curving field boundaries, the faint residue of what the maps once showed as a more complete enclosure.
