A public road clips its western edge, which gives some sense of how thoroughly the surrounding landscape has been reshaped over the centuries, while the earthwork itself quietly persists, ringed by trees and a shallow ditch, occupying roughly the same ground it always has.

When the Ordnance Survey first mapped this part of Limerick at the six-inch scale in 1840, the feature was not recorded at all, which suggests either that it was overlooked or that its form was not yet legible from the survey methods of that period. By the 1897 edition of the twenty-five-inch Ordnance Survey map, it appears clearly, depicted as a circular platform defined by a scarp, the term for a steep slope or near-vertical face of earth that marks the edge of a raised area. The more detailed description comes from O'Kelly, writing in 1942, who classified it as a Type B earthwork: a circular platform with a bank along its outer rim and a fosse, that is, a surrounding ditch, beyond that. O'Kelly measured the maximum height from the platform down to the bottom of the fosse at roughly one and a half metres, with an overall diameter of about twenty-one metres. He noted that no entrance could be recognised, meaning that whatever original access point existed had either eroded or been deliberately obscured. Some 150 metres to the south lies a separate monument, a barrow, the general term for a prehistoric burial mound, which raises the possibility that this area was once a more significant ceremonial or settlement landscape.

The earthwork sits in pasture and remains visible on aerial and satellite imagery, where the tree-covered bank and the surrounding fosse read clearly as a near-complete circle. The road cutting through the western side means the monument is accessible in the sense of being easy to locate, but it is agricultural land, so any closer inspection would require permission from the landowner. The trees that now grow along the bank actually aid visibility from above, their canopy tracing the circuit of the original earthwork in a way that bare ground alone might not. Anyone approaching on foot should look for the slight but definite rise of the platform above the surrounding pasture, and the corresponding hollow of the fosse just outside it.
