The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture, 105m E of townland boundary with Elton, an earthwork (LI040-185----) lies 95m to the NE. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Identified by Katherine Daly from examination of Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 263; AP 5/2123) as a possible enclosure. Faint trace of monument visible as a circular cropmark (approx. diam. 4m) on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13. No surface remains visible on Google earth orthoimages.
See attached Bruff aerial photograph marked 263 and Google Earth orthoimages.
