The National Monuments Service's description

In reclaimed pasture, 65m W of a stream that marks townland boundary with Boherroe and 184m E and 166m N of townland boundary with Ballyphilip. Ring-barrows (LI024-179001-/LI024-179003-) lie 80m to NE and 48m to NE respectively. Not depicted on OS historical mapping. Identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 23(02); AP 4/3665) as linear earthworks. Faint trace of features visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/07/2017. These may be the remains of post-1700 field drainage channels feeding in to an old watercourse running N-S along E side of field.

See attached Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018 and Bruff survey image marked 23(02).
