Nothing breaks the surface to mark it out; only a stony, roughly circular raised area of about 35 metres across gives any hint that something once stood here. The hill drops away steeply to the north and falls more gently to the east and west, and the field boundaries that once defined the site to the south and southwest have been removed, replaced in one case by a post and wire fence. What remains is essentially a memory in the landscape.

The site carries older, stranger freight than its blank surface suggests. Writing in 1908, the antiquarian Power recorded that on this hill there had been a cill, the Irish word for a small early ecclesiastical enclosure or cell, and that human skulls had been found within it. That tradition of the hill as a burial place has not entirely faded; local memory of it persists to the present day. From the summit, the ruined Loughlohery tower house is visible to the north-north-west, a reminder that this stretch of Tipperary was well-settled and strategically legible in the medieval period. To the north, near another summit, a ringfort, the remains of a circular enclosed farmstead of the early medieval period, sits enclosed by conifers. The cluster of sites across these ridges points to long, layered occupation of the area, even if the ground itself now gives little away.
