The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, 118m N of townland boundary with Shanaclogh, ring-barrows (LI022-150/148----) lie 15m to E and 160m to NW respectively. Possible ringfort (LI022-007----) lies 150m to NE. Identified from an examination of 1:5000 aerial photographs (BGE No. 3224; Site No. 022197) taken 03/11/1984 associated with the Bord Gáis Éireann Cork-Dublin gas pipeline. Site visited by ASI in 2000 and described as circular shaped area (7.40m N-S; 7.35m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.2m) with gap (1.8m) at NNW-NNE. Interior level is lower than external ground level and material for bank appears to have been scarped from interior. Faint outline of possible ring-barrow visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 2006.
