On low lying wet pasture, cut by land drains and watercourses, on the floodplain of the Camoge River 265m to W, which forms a townland boundary with Ragamus. Ditch-barrow (LI032-241----) lies 130m to SE. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Monument identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 224: AP 5/2015) as a roughly circular-shaped mound defined by what appears to be a wide fosse. Monument is visible as an oval-shaped earthwork (39m N-S; 35m E-W) defined by a possible fosse from W-NW-N, on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 20/09/2020. A wide fosse is highlighted by flooding where it is waterlogged from S-W-N-E-SE with an obvious causeway from SE-S, as seen on Google Earth orthoimage 20/03/2018. The width of the waterlogged fosse varies from 13m at E, to 16m at N and 20m at WSW. The central mound and wide fosse would suggest that this is a bowl-barrow.
