In improved, wet pasture, cut by land drains and watercourses, 305m NW of a public road, which also marks a townland boundary with Castlefarm. Ditch-barrows (LI032-272001-/02-) lie 62m and 105m to SE, respectively. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Monument identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 231.03: AP 5/2017) as a small circular-shaped earthwork. Upstanding monument is clearly visible as a circular-shaped earthwork (diam. 12m) defined by a fosse, as seen on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/03/2017. Monument appears to be bisected by an old ditch or drain running NE-SW, as seen on modern orthoimages.
