The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying, wet pasture 130m N of a watercourse that marks the townland boundary with Scart. Possible Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 40.4; AP 4/3666) as a possible field system. Faint linear cropmarks running N-S visible on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimages. Cultivation ridges running E-W visible on Google Earth orthoimage 18/11/2018 are not contained within the linear N-S cropmarks. The linear cropmarks running N-S possibly represents the remains of drainage ditches rather than the remains of a pre-1700 field system. The dating of the cultivation ridges remains uncertain.
