Its rectangular outline, roughly twelve metres east to west and eight metres north to south, is partly swallowed by furze and briars, and mature oaks press in from the west and north-west. What remains visible is modest: a low earthen bank to the west, a scarp barely twenty centimetres high to the north and south, and a levelled eastern side largely hidden behind vegetation. Stones are visible under the sod of the bank in places, hinting at something more deliberate beneath, a structure rather than a natural rise.

What makes this particular patch of ground quietly puzzling is how much it has shifted on the historical record. The 1842 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map shows a circular enclosure at this spot, approximately twenty metres across, the kind of form often associated with a ringfort or an early ecclesiastical site. By the time the twenty-five inch OS map was produced, the feature appears to have taken on a more subrectangular character. Then, by the 1920 six-inch revision, it has vanished from the map altogether, either levelled sufficiently to escape notice or simply overlooked by surveyors. The monument that survives today is rectangular with straight sides and an east-west orientation, details that have led to the suggestion it may be the remains of a former church. Early medieval churches in Ireland were frequently oriented along an east-west axis, with the altar end to the east, and were often enclosed by a similarly aligned boundary. The stone beneath the earthen bank, if confirmed, would support the idea that this was once a built rather than purely earthen structure.
