The National Monuments Service's description
In forestry, 40m W of a watercourse. Not depicted on OSi historic maps, although a subrectangular-shaped farmyard / haggard (long-axis ENE-WSW) and building are depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map, to the immediate NE. Identified as a rectangular-shaped cropmark (long-axis NW-SE) by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 148: AP 4/3660). Monument is visible as a faint rectangular-shaped cropmark (approx. dims. 40m NW-SE; 35m NE-SW) on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/05/2017.
See attached Google Earth orthoimage 25/05/2017 and Bruff aerial survey image labelled Bruff 148.
