In rolling pasture within 100m of the River Moy. Three orthostats stand on an oval stony mound (11.7m E-W; 7.7m N-S; H 0.6m). Two of the orthostats, both low stones, are opposite each other close to the middle of the mound and seem to represent a gallery aligned approximately E-W. Immediately E of these the tops of some small stones are exposed at the surface but their status is unclear. Some 2.5m to the W of the opposed orthostats there is a tall example set transversely to the line of the presumed gallery, possibly a backstone. There are a number of displaced stones on the mound. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 61, no. 98) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005). Volume V. County Sligo. (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1989)

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL032-003
