Quarries bit through the mound and took it, leaving only a gap where the marshy valley floor once held a circular shadow. The castle and bawn of Castletown still stand nearby, but the mound has joined the lost things that stop resisting measurement.

Identified as a roughly circular feature (c. 10m) on aerial photograph (CUCAP, AIG 23, 1963), defined by a fosse. when inspected in 1987 it was not visible at ground level. It has subsequently been quarried out.
