No trace of it appears on the Ordnance Survey Ireland historic maps, and little about the landscape today would suggest anything lay beneath it. The site belongs to a category of monument known as a ring-ditch, typically a circular or oval trench that originally surrounded a burial mound, the ditch itself often being what survives after centuries of agriculture have worn the central mound flat.

The site came to light in 1986, when archaeologist Christine Tarbett excavated it ahead of the construction of the Bórd Gáis Éireann Curraleigh West-Limerick gas pipeline, a project that brought several previously unrecorded sites across the region into the archaeological record. By the time the excavation took place, the mound had already been severely truncated by grading machinery, and what remained was a ring-ditch enclosing a roughly circular area measuring 6.35 metres by 6.20 metres externally, with the ditch itself ranging from 60 centimetres to one metre wide and only 14 to 25 centimetres deep. A single cremation pit was found close to the inner edge of the ditch on the south-west side. It measured 40 by 60 centimetres and survived to just 18 centimetres in depth. The bone meal filling it could not be identified to species or individual. Tarbett and her colleagues, whose findings were published by Gowen in 1988, noted that the centre of the mound may well have contained additional pits, but that the earlier topsoil removal had in all likelihood destroyed them entirely. A possible kiln and a separate hearth site were recorded nearby, the latter excavated some 235 metres to the south-east.

There is nothing to see at the spot today. The pipeline construction and the grading that preceded it left the site effectively destroyed as a visible monument, and it sits in ordinary agricultural land roughly 135 metres east of the townland boundary with Elton. Its interest is less scenic than archival: a burial site that survived long enough to be partly recorded, then lost. Those with a particular interest in pipeline archaeology or in the broader pattern of prehistoric cremation monuments across County Limerick may find the published excavation report, cited in Gowen's 1988 summary, the more rewarding destination.
