The earthen bank that once enclosed it has been removed, and what the 1842 Ordnance Survey map recorded as a subrectangular field of around 35 metres by 22 metres has, over successive decades, contracted in the cartographic record, shrinking noticeably by the time the 1905 and 1936 editions were drawn. Today the visible remains amount to little more than a subrectangular hollow, roughly 12 metres by 10 metres, set into the grass.

The site carries a longer history than its Famine associations alone might suggest. Writing in 1934, a researcher named Bowman identified it as a church site, noting that the ground had been ploughed many times, which would account for the near-total erasure of any structural remains. The 1842 map does show a structure in the north-western half of the enclosure, a detail that lends some weight to the ecclesiastical reading, though repeated agricultural disturbance over the generations has made it difficult to say much more with confidence. Sites of this kind, where an early church or burial enclosure gradually loses its physical definition through farming and the slow removal of earthworks, are not uncommon across Munster, but they are rarely easy to read in the field. Here, local tradition has kept the Famine memory alive even as the landscape itself has been almost entirely smoothed over.
