The National Monuments Service's description
In flat pasture 26m E of the townland boundary with Ballynaclogh. The ring-barrow is 100m SW of a ringfort (LI024-252----) and 100m NNW of a ring-barrow (LI024-186----). The monument is not depicted on historic OSi maps, nor is it visible on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12 nor on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 44; AP 4/3672) as a circular ring-barrow (ext. diam. c. 7m). The ring-barrow is not visible on the Google Earth orthoimages taken 18/11/2018, but is visible on an earlier Google Earth image taken 25/03/2017).
