A block of stone, 1.5m in maximum dimension, lies at the SE corner of the mound and the tops of a number of stones protrude above its surface. The nature of the feature is uncertain. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 138, No. 7) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).
