It measures roughly ten metres east to west and four and a half metres north to south, built from earth and stone and edged by a scarp, a kind of defined slope or bank, that survives best on the southern and eastern sides where it reaches about sixty centimetres in height. The northern edge has worn down considerably, to around twenty-five centimetres, and the western scarp falls away more gradually still. Small in scale and unassuming in appearance, it is the kind of feature that could easily be walked past without a second thought.

What makes it worth pausing over is the question of what it once was. A 1982 reference by Cahill suggests it may represent a house site, meaning the earthen footprint of a structure long since gone, preserved in the ground as a slight rise and a worn perimeter. The mound sits within a broader enclosure, the kind of roughly circular or oval boundary feature common across early medieval Ireland, typically associated with settlement, farming, or both. Whether the mound relates directly to the original use of that enclosure, or belongs to a different phase of activity altogether, remains uncertain. The asymmetry of its position within the enclosure, placed towards the north rather than at the centre, adds a small puzzle to the picture.
