The National Monuments Service's description
In flat marshy pasture below the SE slope of Ballylin Hill, the townland boundary with Ballylin is 60m to NW. The site is immediately adjacent to a fulacht fia (LI028-089----) and both sites (LI028-174/-089----) may be the same monument. The site is not depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map and is not depicted on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map. A mound is visible on the OSi orthoimage taken 2005-12 and on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified by Jerry McMahon of Ardagh ( member of the Newcastle Historical Society) in 1986 in correspondence with the ASI (SMR File). Two distinct field anomalies are visible on Google Earth orthoimages taken 10/20/2010 and 08/04/2015. A mound is visible on the field surface on a Google Street View Capture taken 09/2019 from the R523 looking NW.
