Measuring roughly 33 metres across on a northeast to southwest axis and climbing only about 0.8 metres at its highest point, it is the kind of feature that could easily be dismissed as a natural rise or a quirk of field drainage. What makes it more interesting is the slight rectangular depression set into its interior, around 4.8 metres long, 1.7 metres wide, and barely 10 centimetres deep, hinting that something deliberate once happened here.

Mounds of this general type appear throughout Ireland and can represent a wide range of origins, from prehistoric burial monuments and ring barrows to the collapsed remains of later structures. Without excavation it is difficult to say more about what lies beneath or within this particular example. The site was recorded as part of the North Kerry Archaeological Survey, a systematic effort to document the region's field monuments published in 1995 by C. Toal under the Brandon imprint. That survey catalogued the mound's dimensions and noted the interior hollow, which is the sum of what the record preserves about it.
