The National Monuments Service's description
On gently sloping pasture 230m N of the townland boundary with Coolfune and 560m E of the Camoge River. Glenogra church (LI031-038005-) and graveyard (LI031-038006-) are located 320m to NNW. The barrow is not depicted on historic OSi maps, nor is it visible on the OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12 or on the Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 62: AP 4/3646) as a mound (ext. diam. c. 10m) abutting a farm lane and field boundary orientated NW-SE on its NE side. The site is not visible on Google Earth orthoimages taken 05/04/2006 and 28/06/2018.
