The National Monuments Service's description
In wet, scrubby pasture, cut by land drains and watercourses and abutting a townland boundary with Gortbrien. Described by the ASI in 2010 as a large oval-shaped mound (45m NE-SW; 36m NW-SE) is visible at this location on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018, however it is unclear if this is the intended monument or a natural feature that has been landscaped into a mound. Of uncertain antiquity.
