The National Monuments Service's description
On flat reclaimed pasture, 160m SW of Morningstar River, immediately E of field drain which marks townland boundary with Garbally. A possible earthwork (LI031-160003-) lies immediately to SE with possible ditch-barrow (LI031-160002-) 20m to E. Identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 57; AP5/2059) as a small circular cropmark (diam. c. 9m) of a possible ditch-barrow. Faint trace of cropmark visible on OSi orthophoto taken 2005-2012, and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 14/09/2019.
