The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed wet pasture, 110m SW of Morningstar River that forms townland boundary with Milltown. Enclosures (LI040-247/248----) and possible barrows (LI040-253/254----) lie to the E . Not marked on OSi historic maps. Linear features identified as a possible trackway during examination of aerial photographs (BGE 1/10,000, 60) taken 03/11/1984 on Bórd Gáis Éireann gas pipeline. Monument visible as a linear cropmark (L c. 400m) running NW-SE on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 20/09/2020. It is not clear if this linear feature is the route of the gas pipeline as the original photograph showing the linear feature is not present in the paper file for this potential monument.
See attached Google Earth orthoimages.
