The National Monuments Service's description

On a flat flood plain of the River Suir, in meadow. Located at the SE end of an island bounded to the N by a stream which links up to the W with the River Aherlow and to E with the River Suir, both rivers meeting in S. Knockgraffon motte (TS075-019001-) visible c. 900m to the ENE and church (TS075-019003-) visible c. 1km to the NE. Very large, long mound aligned E-W (basal dims. 73m N-S; 127m E-W; flat-top of mound dims. 11m N-S; 44m E-W; H 6m). Mound, where truncated along the S side, is composed of clay. Some gravel visible in upper portion. While this mound appears to be natural, its use for burials, habitation or defence cannot be discounted and is therefore included as a possible archaeological monument.
