On N side of road at W end of the village of Sruthán, Inis Mór. A carefully built cyclindrical drystone cairn (D 1.8m, H 1.15m) with a flat slab set upright on top of it. According to local tradition, it was erected 'long ago' by a woman who lived close by, when her son's body was being removed to the chapel at Eochaill (pers. comm. T. Robinson).
