The National Monuments Service's description
On gently undulating arable land 190m NW of the townland boundary with Croom. The Early Christian monastery of Dysert Aenghusa with its round tower, church and graveyard (LI030-018001/4-) is located 350m to NW. The site is not depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map but is depicted as an oblong mound (ext. dims. c. 16m NE-SW; 25m NW-SE) in a field on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map. The site is visible as a mound in ploughed field on both the OSi orthoimage taken 2005-12 and on the Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. The mound is visible on the Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018 and 14/02/2020.
