The mound that once sat on a gentle east-facing slope in rolling pastureland has been levelled, the tree plantation that surrounded it cleared away, and the ground returned to ordinary grazing land. No trace remains at surface level. What survives is a single curved bank, the ghost outline of the wooded enclosure that once marked the spot, curling through the grass as if reluctant to disappear entirely.

The site's paper trail is thin, and that thinness is itself telling. When the Ordnance Survey produced its first edition six-inch maps in 1843, whatever was here went unrecorded. It was only by the 1903 revision that cartographers noted anything at all, and even then cautiously, marking it as a possible mound at the western end of a small wooded enclosure. The qualifying word matters. Mounds of this kind in the Irish midlands and north Tipperary could represent any number of things, from early medieval burial features to later earthworks associated with landholding or boundary marking, and without excavation the question stays open. The plantation that grew around the site in the intervening decades may have protected some sub-surface material, or it may have disturbed it. Either way, the trees are gone now, and the mound itself long before them.
