What was once a clearly defined oval earthwork, roughly thirty metres from north to south and up to twenty-five metres across, has been levelled entirely. In its place sits a slightly raised patch of rough ground, subrectangular in shape and stony underfoot, bordered on one side by a road and on the others by a field fence and a vague, sloping margin. The disturbance is visible, but the monument itself is gone.

The 1838 Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded it as a ringfort-like embanked enclosure, the kind of earthwork found across Ireland and typically associated with early medieval settlement, where a bank and sometimes a ditch enclosed a farmstead or household. By the 1922 edition of the same map, the depiction had shifted: only an arc of hachuring remained, curving from south-west to north-west, suggesting the enclosure was already diminished or partially obscured by that point. A road had clipped its eastern edge. At some stage between that survey and the present, what remained was levelled altogether, leaving only the disturbed, stony ground on a low rise in pasture. Roughly 250 metres to the south-south-east, a rath, which is the more familiar term for a raised ringfort, still survives, making the loss at Carrowconeen the more pointed by comparison. Two sites, once in close proximity, and one has effectively been erased while the other endures.
