What was once a substantial oval earthwork platform, measuring roughly 37 metres northwest to southeast and 44 metres northeast to southwest, has been levelled so thoroughly that it leaves almost no visible trace at ground level. What remains is a cropmark, the kind of shadow in the soil that reveals itself in aerial photography when differential moisture or growth betrays the outline of something that was once there.

The platform was defined by a scarp, essentially a steep edge or slope that demarcated the raised surface from the surrounding ground, giving the whole structure a distinct, bounded form. It sits around 342 metres west of the River Maigue and just 173 metres north of the townland boundary with Lackanagrour. What makes its history particularly elusive is a gap in the cartographic record. When the Ordnance Survey of Ireland produced its first six-inch maps in 1840, the earthwork was not recorded at all, though it does appear on the 25-inch edition surveyed in 1897, suggesting that either it was overlooked earlier or that the later survey was simply more thorough in capturing earthwork features of this kind. By the time aerial orthophotographs were taken between 2005 and 2012 by OSi, and subsequently captured in Google Earth imagery, the structure had been levelled, surviving only as that faint cropmark signature. The record was compiled by Fiona Rooney and uploaded in April 2021.

There is nothing to see at ground level in any conventional sense. The site sits in agricultural pasture and the levelled monument is not marked or interpreted. Its interest lies almost entirely in what remote sensing reveals: the aerial images show the ghostly oval outline clearly enough that the platform's former dimensions can be estimated with some confidence. For anyone curious about how landscapes are read and recorded in modern archaeology, this kind of site illustrates precisely how much can survive below or just at the surface of apparently ordinary fields, visible only when the angle of light or the stress of a dry summer draws old boundaries back to the surface.
