The National Monuments Service's description
On sloping pasture rising to Knockseefin Hill 900m to NE, 14m SW of the townland boundary with Glen (Clanwilliam By.). The barrow is one of a pair of sites (LI024-242/161001-) located 15m apart. A group of four ring-barrows (LI024-161002/003-; LI024-244/245----) are located 80m to S. The site is not depicted on historic OSi maps, nor is it visible on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12 or on the Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey of 1986 (Bruff AP 4/3681) as a ring-barrow. The site is not visible on the most recent Google Earth orthoimages taken 18/11/2018.
