It was not especially large, measuring roughly 12.5 metres across at the outer edges of the fosse, with an internal diameter of about 7.7 metres. Then, around 1980, it was levelled entirely.

What remains now is not a structure at all but a cropmark, the faint outline left in growing vegetation when buried archaeological features affect how soil retains moisture. The shape of the vanished monument still ghosts up through the ground in the right conditions, tracing the circular form of the fosse in the earth. The surrounding land is relatively flat, dropping away to the east and south towards the Emlagh river. The site was documented in J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region, the Dingle Peninsula, which recorded the monument's dimensions and noted, via information from T. Creedon, that it had been levelled within living memory. Ring barrows are generally associated with the Bronze Age, serving as funerary enclosures, and their destruction through agricultural improvement has been a quiet and persistent loss across the Irish landscape.
