The National Monuments Service's description

Cropmark of pit feature visible on Google earth orthoimage taken 20/05/2020, similar to cropmark of Linkardstown Burial (WI021-057---) located 290m to S. According to local information several unrecorded cists have been uncovered in this field during land reclamation works which were carried out in this field around 2 years ago (pers. comm. Robert Hanbidge). The cropmark visible on Google Earth orthoimage may be the remains of one of these cists.
