The National Monuments Service's description
In rough partially reclaimed pasture, on the townland boundary between Newtown and Rathanny. An earthwork (LI040-023----) and barrow (LI040-298----) lie 100m to the NW. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 125; AP 5/2122) as a D-shaped cropmark immediately S of a post-1700 field boundary running roughly E-W. No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 or on Google Earth orthoimages.
See attached Bruff survey image showing cropmark labelled Bruff 125 and Google Earth orthoimages.
