The mound is modest in scale, around twelve metres in diameter, and is defined by a fosse, the term used for a surrounding ditch or trench that was typically cut to provide material for the raised feature within it. Nothing about it announces itself loudly. It simply sits there, slightly elevated above the surrounding grassland, the kind of feature that generations of farming have worked around rather than through.

What makes this site quietly curious is its documentary absence for much of the modern period. When the Ordnance Survey produced its first detailed six-inch maps of Ireland in the 1840s, this mound went unrecorded, suggesting it was either overlooked, considered unremarkable at the time, or sufficiently obscured by agricultural activity to escape the surveyors' attention. It does appear on the later twenty-five inch Ordnance Survey edition of 1897, drawn as a roughly circular earthwork with its surrounding fosse visible. Beyond that cartographic appearance, its origins and original purpose remain uncharacterised. Earthen mounds of this general type in Ireland can range in date and function from prehistoric burial monuments to early medieval ringfort remnants, but no excavation or detailed survey has established what this particular example represents. The record was compiled by Martin Fitzpatrick and uploaded in November 2021.

The mound is visible on satellite imagery, including Digital Globe orthoimages from 2011 to 2013 and on Google Earth, where a field track running roughly northwest to southeast clips its eastern edge. For anyone curious enough to seek it out, that track intersection is a useful locating detail. The surrounding land is improved pasture, so ground conditions and access can vary with the seasons, and the low profile of the mound means it reads better in oblique winter light when vegetation is thin. It sits in that particular category of Irish archaeological feature, the kind that rewards patience and a careful eye rather than any dramatic first impression.
