The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying, wet pasture, which is cut by land drains and watercourses and is defined by a townland boundary with Ballynaclogh and Ballyshoneen to NW, Knockballyfookeen to NE and Bohernagraga to SE. A cluster of three ring-barrows (LI024-310001-/02-/03-) are situated on the SE side. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified as a patchwork of intersecting linear and slightly curvilinear-shaped cropmarks by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 164: AP 4/3673). Anomalies are visible as a series of linear and slightly curvilinear-shaped cropmarks intersecting to form a field pattern covering an area of at least 26ha on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012 and on Digital Globe aerial orthophoto taken 2011-2013, however is not visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018.
See attached Google Earth orthoimage 18/11/2018 and Bruff aerial survey image labelled Bruff 164.
