What is recorded here
A cairn (DG047-002002-) of earth and stones 1m high surrounded by an earth and stone bank with an overall diameter of 15m. Slightly W of the highest point of the cairn is a stone slab-lined grave (DG047-002003-), 1.5m N-S and 0.85m E-W. It is tilting inwards under pressure from the cairn. A mound of stones on top of the cairn is probably the remains of a trigonometrical station. It is situated on the summit of Holy Well Hill in mountain terrain on the border with County Derry and is regarded as a holy well locally.
