Located c. 50m from the S shore of Lough Melvin and c. 50m W of the SE-NW Lattone or County River close to where it debouches into Lough Melvin. The river forms the boundary with Co. Fermanagh. It is described as 'Carn Melvin' in gothic lettering on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, although the feature is not marked. It was described in the 1830s as 'a heap of stones' (OS Name Book No. 84, 580). No feature is visible at ground level and its precise location is not known.
