What is recorded here
Oval cairn (dims. 10m E-W x 7.5m N-S; H 1m) slightly below and to the NW of the summit of Lugnagun. The townland boundary, which bends sharply at this point, runs across the S side of the cairn. Two small slabs are set at right angles to each other slightly to the W of the cairn centre, possibly the remains of a cist.
