The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, 90m NE of the R513 regional road, 130m SE of the Ballynamona River and 632m NE of a townland boundary with Gortacloona. Ballynamona castle (LI032-095001-) and church (LI032-095002-) lie 360m to SW. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Monument identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 223: AP 5/2018) as a suboval-shaped earthwork to the immediate E of a field boundary running roughly N-S. Possible monument is visible as a poorly defined, irregular-shaped area (37m N-S; 36m E-W) of probable rock outcrop, as seen on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage 28/06/2018.
See attached Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/03/2017 and Bruff aerial survey image labelled 223
