The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed wet pasture, 30m W of a watercourse that forms townland boundary with Island Dromagh, possible barrows (LI040-127001-/002-) lie 110m to the W. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Identified as a potential site visible as a small circle abutting a small rectangular feature on aerial photographs (BGE 1/5000, Strip map 4, site 4/36) taken 03/11/1984 on Bórd Gáis Éireann Curraleigh West-Limerick gas pipeline. No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimage and Google Earth orthoimages. Doubtful antiquity.
