In reclaimed pasture 95m E of a stream and 66m SW of the townland boundary with Lissard.

Barrow cemetery (LI049-072001/009-) lies 200m to W and enclosure (LI049-072016-) lies 15m to E. Three of the 6 barrows (LI049-072010/015-) in this cemetery were excavated in 1935 by S. P. Ó Ríordáin (1936, 176-177) the results of which were described as follows; ‘In 1935 further excavations were conducted on a total of twenty of these monuments. The results were frankly disappointing as no unmistakable burial was found in any of the barrows excavated’ (Ó Ríordáin 1936, 177). This site which was excavated is located in S of the field 25m to the SW of the excavated barrow (LI049-072015-). No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimages.
