The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture immediately W of a watercourse that marks the townland boundary with Knockderk. Not depicted on historic OSi maps. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 62; AP 4/3616) as a possible field system. Faint pattern of linear cropmarks, some perpendicular to each other, covering an area c. 220m N-S x 250m E-W visible on OSi orthophotos taken between 2005-2012 and on Google Earth orthoimage dated 18/11/2018. Cropmarks may be the remains of drainage ditches rather than that of a field system as they do not appear to form a clear pattern of fields containing cultivation ridges.
