Dense briars have claimed most of it, and only the eastern quadrant remains visible, defined by a low bank roughly three metres wide. The interior face rises about thirty-five centimetres, the exterior a little more at sixty-five centimetres. These are modest dimensions, but they describe the surviving edge of something that was once a complete enclosure, the kind of roughly circular earthen boundary that appears across Ireland in various forms, sometimes enclosing a settlement, sometimes a burial site, sometimes a space whose original purpose is no longer legible.

By 1904, when the Ordnance Survey produced its six-inch map of the area, the feature was already being read as a circular mound, with a diameter of roughly ten to thirteen metres. That cartographic moment is now among the clearest records of what the monument looked like before the forestry took hold. The planting of coniferous woodland, common across Irish upland and marginal land throughout the twentieth century, has a way of preserving earthworks structurally while rendering them invisible on the ground, the canopy suppressing undergrowth in some areas while allowing briars to thicken at the margins and along any disturbance in the soil.
