National Monument No. 532. In pasture on top of Clonin Hill with extensive views of the surrounding countryside. Impressive view of burial mound (OF010-004001-) on top of Croghan Hill 4.5km to W. Smaller ring-barrow (OF011-001002-) now levelled located c. 20 metres to NW of ring-barrow (OF011-001----). No surface remains visible. Described in 1970 as following: 'Approx. 56m NW from centre of the barrow is a smaller barrow divided in two by a modern field fence wall. This smaller barrow measures 11m approx. in overall width, with the fosse measuring 3m in width' (SMR File 23/01/1970)'. The field boundary described in 1970 and indicated on all editions of the OS 6-inch maps has been removed in recent times and the ring-barrow was probably levelled when the field boundary was removed.
