It never appeared on any edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps, the most comprehensive record of Irish landscape features produced through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, which makes its very existence something of a cartographic gap. The site came to official attention only in 1995, when it was added to the Record of Monuments and Places on the strength of a single aerial photograph.

The mound is roughly circular, measuring approximately 28 metres north to south and 26 metres east to west, and rises to a maximum height of around one metre. Those dimensions suggest a deliberate human construction rather than a natural rise, though its original purpose remains unclassified beyond the broad category of earthwork. What the aerial photograph revealed, ground inspection has somewhat complicated: the surface has been significantly disturbed by quarrying, removing whatever surface detail might once have helped narrow down its age or function. Without that evidence, and without any excavation record, the mound keeps its history to itself.
