Its facing stones are gone, any dedicatory inscription has vanished, and what remains is an irregular core rising to about 1.9 metres, measuring roughly 1.5 metres north to south and 1.35 metres east to west. Four faces can still be made out, which is enough to confirm its original shape if little else. The local names, Laghtsidura and Soldiers Grave, do more narrative work than the structure itself is now capable of doing.

The monument belongs to a type known as a leacht, a word borrowed from the Irish meaning a cairn or raised memorial, typically associated with early Christian commemoration at pilgrimage sites, grave markers, or places with a particular devotional significance. They are found across Ireland, usually in the form of a low rectangular or square structure, sometimes plain and sometimes ornamented, that served as a focus for prayer or remembrance. This example has been robbed of its facing stones at some point, a common fate for field monuments in agricultural landscapes where dressed or finished stone was a useful resource. The name Soldiers Grave hints at a local tradition connecting the site to a burial or a death in conflict, though the structural evidence alone cannot confirm or date such an association.
