The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture, possible (LI040-195002-) lies 8m to the SW. Identified as a small circular cropmark of a possible ring-barrow by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 41.02; AP 5/2068). Faint trace of circular cropmark (diam. c. 5m) visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13. Linear cropmarks running N-S and E-W to the N and E of the possible barrow represent relic post-1700 field boundaries depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Linear cropmarks throughout the field would appear to represent drainage channels. No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimages.
See attached Bruff survey image showing cropmark labelled Bruff 41.02 and Google Earth orthoimage.
