The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, 15m E of townland boundary with Goat Island and 740m SE of Greenpark House. Four possible barrows (LI040-212001/004-) located inside large irregular shaped earthwork. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 139.05; AP 5/2109) as a large irregular-shaped cropmark. Monument visible as a large roughly sub-rectangular shaped area (dims. c. 67m NW-SE x 120m NE-SW) defined by a scarp with water-filled fosse on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages.
See attached Bruff survey image showing cropmark labelled Bruff 139.05 and Google Earth orthoimages.
