The National Monuments Service's description

On level ground, on the floodplain of the Aughvaria River, in poorly drained pasture, with good views to E and W and moderate views to S. Depicted on the revised 1924 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped mound (diam. 9.5m). Monument visited by the ASI in 1999, however it was densely overgrown and inaccessible. Described on an ASI index card as an enclosed circular-shaped mound, possibly suggesting a type of barrow (SMR file). Not clearly visible on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and Google Earth orthoimage taken 11/03/2014.
