Timoney (1984, 323, no. 9) describes this as follows: 'The total diameter of this ring-barrow, sited on a false crest is 20.30m. A flat topped mound, 8.50m in diameter and 30cm high, is enclosed by a fosse, 3m wide and 50cm deep, and a bank, 2.80m wide and 75cm high. There are stones in the make-up of the bank. A modern stone wall crosses the west side of the monument. Burenhult (1980:1, 97) lists this as Structure 64, Carrowmore, recte Graigue.' Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 28 January 2014
