In wet, low-lying pasture, in the angle of two land drains, 160m SW of a townland boundary with Ballingoola. Three ring-barrows (LI023-069002-/003-/004-) are cut into the surface of a rectangular-shaped platform. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified by Ó Ríordáin and MacDermott (1949, 127) as a rectangular-shaped platform on which there are three ring-barrows. This monument was described earlier by O'Kelly (1944, 48) as a 'very low rectangular platform surrounded by a very shallow fosse. The entrance is not recognisable. It measures overall 75' [22.8m] N-S by 45' [13.7m] E-W. At its S end and lying sided by side are two barrows, one oval and the other circular. These are low mounds surrounded by shallow fosses which are joined into that of the rectangle. The oval barrow is 45' [13.7m] N-S by 23' [7m] E-W while the other is 24' [7.3m] in diameter. The third one, also 24' [7.3m] in diameter, lies to the south of the oval barrow, both fosses being conjoined. The monuments are situated just beyond the edge of an extensive marsh'.
Monuments are not visible on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018.
