By the time the twenty-five-inch edition was produced in 1897, the mound had been captured in ink, its raised form and defining scarp finally acknowledged on paper. That it escaped earlier notice is not unusual for this class of monument; earthworks of this kind, whether the remains of a burial mound, a platform, or some other raised feature, often blend into farmed land so effectively that they survive largely because they were never worth the trouble of levelling.

The mound sits about fifty metres east of the townland boundary with Ardrahin, in the barony of Coshlea, and it does not stand entirely alone in the archaeological landscape. Two enclosures, recorded separately, lie roughly eighty and sixty-five metres to the northwest, suggesting that this corner of Limerick held some significance at an earlier period, even if the precise nature and date of any of these features remains unresolved. A field boundary running east to west cuts across the northern edge of the mound; because it post-dates 1700, it tells us that the mound was already being gradually absorbed into the working agricultural fabric of the area by the early modern period, its original function long since forgotten by those who farmed around it.

The site is on private pasture land, so any visit would require the landowner's permission. What gives the mound much of its present character is the tree cover that has taken hold on it, visible on satellite imagery captured between 2011 and 2013. That canopy, which would once have been absent, now makes it easier to spot from a distance, a small dark cluster rising above the surrounding grass. The companion enclosures to the northwest are worth noting for anyone interested in the broader pattern of monuments in this part of Limerick, where the relatively low-lying farmland has preserved a number of earthwork features that rarely attract the same attention as their more dramatic counterparts elsewhere in the country.
