The National Monuments Service's description
About 20 mounds in an E-W line are marked only on the 1910 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. They are on the townland boundary between Tonlegee to the S, and Gortnalibbert and Barr of Farrow on the N. They are situated on a slight N-S rise between Lough Avanny at the W end and Doo Lough at the E end on a broad, high plateau. Very few of these survive, and those that do are turf mounds marking the boundary between the townlands.
