The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, 23m W of townland boundary with Knockainey West and 20m N of townland boundary with Rathanny. Identified as a possible enclosure by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 66; AP 5/2075). No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 or on Google Earth orthoimages. Possible pond feature visible on Bruff image. Doubtful antiquity.
See attached Bruff survey image showing cropmark labelled Bruff 66 and Google Earth orthoimage.
