The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying wet pasture, which is cut by land drains and watercourses, 40m NW of a townland boundary with Bohernagraga. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. The eastern most of a cluster of three ring-barrows (LI024-310001-/002-/003-) which are aligned in a row running NW-SE. Visible as a circular-shaped cropmark on the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff AP 4/3673) and identified as a ring-barrow by the ASI during further analysis of the survey in 2010. Monument is visible as a roughly circular-shaped area on OSi orthophoto taken 2005-2012 and on Digital Globe orthophotos and is visible as a suboval-shaped cropmark (13m E-W; 9.5m N-S) on Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018.
