In pasture, 153m W of townland boundary with Ballingayrour and 140m E of townland boundary with Ballincurra. Not marked on 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Depicted on the 1924 ed. OSi Cassini 6-inch map as a small circular-shaped field. and not as an antiquity. Cropmark of circular-shaped area (diam. c. 20m) of wet vegetation visible on Digital Globe orthophotograph taken between 2011-13. No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimages. Doubtful antiquity.
