The National Monuments Service's description

On flat undulating pasture. The site is located 460m E of the townland boundary with Wonderhill, 150m NW of a ringfort (LI023-102----) and c. 300m S of a ring-barrow cemetery (LI023-226001-/009-). The barrow is not depicted on historic OSi maps. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 158; AP 4/3665) as an oval feature (ext. diam. c. 15m). It appears to have been levelled as there are no surface remains visible on the most recent Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018.
