Roughly thirty metres in diameter, it sits south of a stream on a south-east facing slope of pasture, and according to survey records it is simply not visible at ground level. The only way to know it exists at all is to look at a map, or to notice the slight but telling kink in the field boundary running alongside it.

The earthwork first appears marked as a circular mound on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map edition of 1837, and it is still recorded in the same form on the 1937 edition a full century later. That consistency across two surveys separated by a hundred years suggests the feature was considered significant enough to record on both occasions, even if its nature remains uncertain. The kink in the adjacent field boundary is the kind of detail that archaeologists treat as a quiet signal of age; field boundaries frequently curve or dog-leg around older earthworks that predate them, preserving the outline of something earlier even when the earthwork itself has been largely flattened by centuries of ploughing or grazing. The site was compiled in the record by Geraldine Stout and updated by Christine Baker, with the entry uploaded in November 2014.

Because the mound is not visible from ground level, a visit here rewards close attention to the landscape rather than any obvious feature. The field lies south of a stream, on a gentle slope, and the most legible evidence of the earthwork may actually be that deflection in the nearby field boundary rather than anything in the ground surface itself. Access to private farmland in Ireland generally requires the landowner's permission beforehand. Those with an interest in how early sites are recorded and gradually smoothed back into the agricultural landscape will find the OS six-inch map sheets, available through the OSi historical mapping viewer, a useful companion for understanding what once showed clearly enough to be drawn, and what has since disappeared into the grass.
