In reclaimed wet pasture, immediately W of the Morningstar River that forms townland boundary with Elton and S of townland boundary with Stephenstown. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Associated with six possible barrows (LI040-106002/006-). Identified as a series of linear features and cultivation ridges running E-W which was tentatively classified as a possible field system during examination of Bórd Gáis Éireann gas pipeline aerial photographs (BGE 1/5,000, 2562) taken 03/11/1984. Linear cropmarks some of which are perpendicular to each other are visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages. The linear cropmarks may represent drainage ditches associated with land reclamation works at Knocktoran House. See attached BGE aerial photograph (040177) and Google Earth orthoimages.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LI040-106001
