What survives is a semi-circular earthen enclosure, its interior raised as much as four metres above the surrounding land, giving it a presence that feels quietly anomalous in the fields around it. The south-western corner has taken a further hit from quarrying, so the shape is incomplete in two directions at once, yet what remains still reads clearly as an enclosure of deliberate purpose and some age.

The surviving half measures roughly 28 metres on its north-east to south-west axis and 45 metres north-west to south-east. The bank itself is substantial, running about six metres wide at the base, with an external height of between 0.6 and 0.8 metres and an internal height that reaches 1.3 metres in places. Running east to west across the interior is a separate earthen ridge, also around six metres wide at the base, with what appears to be a fosse, a shallow ditch, along its northern edge. The Ordnance Survey mapped the site in 1841 to 1842 under the name Kilmeany Burial Ground, suggesting it was still recognised by local people at that point as a place of interment, even if no longer in active use. By the time the next detailed survey came around in 1939, the name had shifted slightly to Kilmorna Burial Ground, with the added notation that it was disused. The change in place name between those two maps is itself a small puzzle, hinting at accumulated memory loss or local variation in how the site was known and spoken about across the intervening century.
