The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture 250m N of a watercourse that marks the townland boundary with Lisnalanniv. Farmhouse depicted at this location on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. It is shown on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a raised roughly oval-shaped area (dims. 36m NW-SE; 23m NE-SW). Visible as a faint cropmark on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13. No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimages. Earthwork appears to represent the levelled remains of the farmhouse depicted on 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map.
See attached Google Earth orthoimages.
