The mound is modest in scale, roughly 14 metres north to south and 10 metres east to west, lifting about 1.4 metres above the surrounding ground. Nearby, a univallate rath, meaning a ringfort enclosed by a single earthen bank and ditch, occupies a position just south of a small stream, with open sightlines in most directions. Raths were typically farmsteads of the early medieval period, built and occupied roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries, and they are among the most common archaeological monuments in Ireland. This one has been considerably worn down by cattle over the years. The mound to its north-east is a separate feature, oval and raised, and while its function is unrecorded, the proximity to the rath has led to the suggestion that the two may be connected in some way, perhaps as a burial feature, a status marker, or some element of the wider farmstead. The uncertainty is part of what makes the pairing worth noting.
