No mound marks the spot today, no stone, no field monument that a passing walker might pause at. The grave existed quietly for centuries without ever appearing on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1837 or the revised twenty-five-inch edition of 1913, and by 1970 an observer could find no surface remains at all.

What brought it to light was not archaeology but industry. At some point before 1967, gravel quarrying near a small mound to the immediate south of Huntingdon House disturbed the ground enough to reveal a cist, a type of prehistoric grave formed from stone slabs arranged into a small box-like chamber, typically just large enough to contain a single body. Inside was a crouched skeleton, the burial position characteristic of many Bronze Age interments across Ireland, where the body was drawn into a foetal-like posture before being placed in the cist. The find was recorded by the National Museum of Ireland and later cited by the archaeologist John Waddell in 1970. The mound that had once marked the general vicinity of the burial is gone, and the site leaves no impression on aerial photography.
