Not through age alone, but through the more prosaic violence of agricultural reclamation, which has left the site almost entirely invisible at ground level, detectable now only by a ramp on the downslope at the north-west and the vague, overgrown humps of displaced earth and scrub that were pushed to the hillock's edges during clearance work.

When the site was recorded in 1994, it presented as a rectangular earthen enclosure measuring roughly 15 metres east to west and 10 metres north to south, with rounded corners and what appeared to be an original entrance at the south-west. Earthen enclosures of this kind are a broad category in Irish archaeology, used across many centuries for purposes ranging from settlement and livestock management to ritual activity, and their rounded corners and banked boundaries are characteristic features of early medieval construction. A later opening at the north-west, along with the ramp noted by Georg Dose, suggests the site saw continued or secondary use after its original construction. By the time of a more recent inspection, however, land reclamation had fundamentally altered the visible archaeology. The bank had been levelled, the displaced material mounded along the edges, and the whole hilltop allowed to return to rough grass and scrub, obscuring what had once been a legible, if modest, earthwork.

The hillock itself sits in rough pasture and offers only restricted views of the surrounding landscape, which makes the reclamation all the more quietly unfortunate. The ramp traces on the north-west slope are the one remaining feature that gestures towards what was there, though even these are now largely swallowed by long grass and encroaching bushes.
