The National Monuments Service's description

In rough pasture, 11m S of field boundary and 80m W of a stream that marks townland boundary with Feloree. A cluster of ring-barrows (LI023-226001-/009-) lie 280m to W and linear earthworks (LI024-179002-) lie 260 to NE. Not depicted on OS historical mapping. Identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 26; AP 4/3665) as a small circular cropmark of a possible ring-barrow. Cropmark is visible on OSi orthophotos taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.

See attached Google Earth orthoimages and Bruff survey image marked Bruff 26.
