That map shows a circular enclosure roughly twenty metres in diameter, with field boundaries running along its northern and western edges. By the time the 1900 revision was made, neither the enclosure nor those boundaries were recorded, which places their removal somewhere in the intervening sixty-odd years, most likely under agricultural pressure during a period of intensive land reorganisation across rural Ireland.

The site is believed to have been a barrow, the general term for a prehistoric burial mound or earthwork raised over the dead, and its identification as one rests largely on a discovery made in 1962. During ploughing, a cist was uncovered either within or very close to where the old enclosure once stood. A cist is a small stone-lined grave box, typically associated with Bronze Age burial practice, often holding a crouched inhumation or cremated remains. The find was recorded by Prendergast in 1962, and the proximity of this burial to the mapped enclosure is what ties the two features together, suggesting they were always part of the same funerary monument. The Powerstown River runs roughly east to west about a hundred and fifty metres to the south, a detail that fits a broader pattern of prehistoric communities siting burials near water.

There is little to see at the location today. The land is under tillage and the monument is classified as levelled, meaning it survives, if at all, only as a cropmark or a trace in the soil. Its interest lies less in what remains than in what the old maps and a chance ploughing accident preserve of a landscape that has otherwise been thoroughly remade.
