In reclaimed pasture 115m S of a watercourse that marks the townland boundary with Mitchelstowndown North. One of 36 possible barrows (LI049-001008/041/043/044-) within an area measuring c. 250m N-S x c. 450m E-W. A group of seven possible barrows (LI049-001001/007-) lies 205m to NW. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified as a barrow on examination of Bord Gáis Éireann aerial photograph (BGE 2573; Site No. 290) taken 03/11/1984. No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimages where a farm track running N-S is located to immediate E. See attached Bord Gáis Éireann aerial photograph and Google Earth orthoimages.
