The National Monuments Service's description
In improved flat pasture adjacent to a field boundary, 180m N of the townland boundary with Scart. The ring-barrow (LI024-216001-) is located within an enclosure (LI024-216----). A ring-barrow (LI025-065----) is located 165m NNW. The site is not depicted on historic OSi maps; it is faintly visible on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12 and on the Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified during a re-examination of the Bruff aerial photographic survey of 1986. Described as 'within this enclosure (LI024-216----) there is a small barrow (LI024-216001-), on the north-west side. Very clear through stereoscope', Robert Dolan (pers. comm. 20/03/2015).
