The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture, 25m E of road that forms townland boundary with Gormanstown. A possible ditch-barrow (LI040-060----) lies 115m to the N. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Possible semi-circular shaped feature identified during examination of aerial photographs (BGE 1/10,000, 62) taken 03/11/1984 on Bórd Gáis Éireann gas pipeline. No surface remains visible on OSi orthophotograph taken between 2005-12 or on the Google Earth orthoimages. Doubtful antiquity.
See attached Bórd Gáis Éireann aerial photograph and Google Earth orthoimage.
