The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions, on the demesne lands of Attyflin House located 270m to SE, fulacht fia (LI021-177----) lies 133m to the W. No surface remains visible. Not marked on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map. Depicted as a tree ring on the 1897 OS 25-inch map and not as an antiquity. Google Earth orthoimage taken 2020 shows the no trace of the monument. Location on the demesne lands of Attyflin House and its cartographic representation on the 25-inch OS map suggests that this was a tree-ring of post 1700 date associated with the landscaped of the demesne lands of Attyflin House.
