It sits quietly in the southern end of a field in the townland of Boherroe, about forty metres east of the boundary with the neighbouring townland of Longstone, and for much of recent history it passed without any formal record at all.

The feature only entered the archaeological register after an aerial photographic survey of the Bruff area in 1986, reference Bruff 52, AP 4/3684, which picked out a sub-circular shaped hollow in the ground. Measuring approximately seventeen metres on its north-south axis and twenty-five metres east to west, it is large enough to have had some practical purpose, though what that purpose was remains uncertain. A later check using a Google Earth orthoimage dated 25 May 2017 confirmed the hollow was still visible from above. Compiled by Martin Fitzpatrick and uploaded to the record in July 2020, the entry notes that the feature does not appear on any OS mapping, and that it could represent the remains of a post-1700 quarry, a type of working hollow dug to extract stone, gravel, or other material for local construction or road repair. Quarry pits of this kind were common across rural Ireland in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and were rarely considered worth documenting at the time.

The site is on private farmland, so access would require the landowner's permission. Because the hollow reads best from above, ground-level inspection is likely to be less revealing than the aerial images suggest. Visitors in late spring or early summer, when grass is lower and shadows are long in morning light, may find the outline easiest to read from the field boundary. There is no physical marker, no signage, and nothing to indicate from the road that anything of potential interest lies in the field beyond. The feature's value is less in what it definitively is and more in what it represents: the kind of ordinary, unverified earthwork that turns up in the margins of the landscape record, waiting for someone to look more closely.
