The National Monuments Service's description
In lowlying pasture reclaimed from bog, on slight rise. The confluence of the Black River and the Srafaungal River is located c. 300m to S, and the larger Brusna River is 550m to W.
No archaeological monument is shown at this location on the 1837-8 OS 6-inch map. An earthwork (MA031-054001-) consisting of a small central hachured area encircled by a double ring of hachuring (overall diam. c. 20m) is shown on the 25-inch plan and on the 1922 OS 6-inch map. It was recorded in OPW field notes (1958) as an ‘old house or byre, partly stone, partly turf, with a collapsed bank all around’. It was deemed to be of no archaeological interest and permission was given to the landowner to reclaim the land. When inspected in 1995, the location consisted of a pasture field with no visible remains of an archaeological monument. A house now stands on the location.
