It does not appear on any historic Ordnance Survey Ireland maps, which means that generations of cartographers passed it by, or more likely that its surface features had already been worn too flat to attract attention. The monument only entered the archaeological record in 1986, when an aerial photographic survey operating out of Bruff captured it from the air, registering it under the reference Bruff 123.01.

A ring-barrow is a burial mound of prehistoric origin, typically consisting of a low circular earthen mound enclosed by a surrounding ditch, though the precise form varies considerably across Irish examples. This one is part of a pair: two barrows aligned east to west, catalogued together as LI033-114001 and LI033-114002, with the companion monument lying immediately to the east. Their deliberate alignment suggests a degree of planning and shared purpose, possibly funerary, though the notes compiled by Martin Fitzpatrick and uploaded to the record in April 2021 do not go further than identifying the physical arrangement. The site sits roughly 120 metres east of the townland boundary with Garrydoolis, which places it quietly in agricultural ground that has long since been reshaped for modern farming.

Because the land is in improved pasture, the barrow has been considerably reduced over time. By the period covered by Ordnance Survey orthophotography between 2005 and 2012, it was detectable only as a circular cropmark, the kind of subtle discolouration in vegetation that reveals buried or disturbed ground beneath. A Google Earth image from November 2018 shows it as a shallow depression, which is roughly what a visitor on foot might expect to find today. There is no formal access or signage, and the feature is not the sort of thing that announces itself. Anyone hoping to locate it should work from the townland boundary as a reference point and expect a very modest earthwork rather than anything with visible height or structure.
