What survives is a raised oval platform, measuring roughly 32 metres on its longer northeast-to-southwest axis and 26 metres across, defined by a scarp, the sloped edge of the raised ground, with a fosse, or ditch, running around its southwestern to northeastern arc. It is not dramatic to look at, but the geometry is deliberate and old, and it sits in quiet company: a barrow cemetery, a cluster of prehistoric burial mounds, lies immediately to its south and southeast, which suggests this corner of Lissard was significant to the people who shaped this landscape long before anyone thought to record it.

The earthwork was first formally noted in 1936, when Seán P. Ó Ríordáin surveyed the area and included it in his published findings. At that point the monument was already shown on the 1897 edition of the Ordnance Survey of Ireland 25-inch map, depicted as that raised oval platform, so it had been visible and mappable for at least four decades before Ó Ríordáin arrived with his survey instruments. The intervening century has not been entirely kind to it. A field drain running northeast to southwest has truncated the southern end, and a field boundary cuts across the western side, so the complete oval is no longer intact on the ground. Satellite imagery taken between 2011 and 2013 shows what remains as a semicircular outline defined by the scarp from west to north to east, the southern portion effectively gone.

The site sits in working pasture, so any visit depends on access arrangements with the landowner. The monument does not sit beside a road or a waymarked trail, and its low profile means it would be easy to walk across without recognising it. The best approach, before going in person, is to study the Google Earth orthoimages, which reveal the surviving scarp more clearly from above than it reads at ground level. If you do find yourself standing on the northeastern side, look southward across the field: the proximity of the barrow cemetery is what gives this otherwise unassuming earthwork its fuller context, a reminder that this patch of County Limerick farmland was once arranged with considerable care around the dead.
