It is easy to overlook, and that is partly what makes it interesting. Measuring around five metres across, it rises about 1.2 metres on its southern side and tapers to roughly half that on the north, giving it a slight tilt that suggests either deliberate construction or the long, slow work of soil movement and settlement. Grass and moss spread loosely across its surface, and stones of various sizes push up through it or rest on top, as though the ground itself is gradually disclosing something.

What exactly lies beneath is not known. The mound is described as uncertain in nature, though it is considered likely to cover or incorporate structural remains of some kind. Its position at the base of Bailey Mór is suggestive; Bailey Mór is a substantial earthen mound in its own right, and the presence of a smaller, secondary feature at its edge raises the possibility that the two are related, whether as part of the same original construction or through some later addition or activity on the site. Inis Gé Thuaidh is a small island, and the accumulation of archaeological features in such a confined landscape often points to a long and layered history of human use, even where the specifics remain unresolved.
