What is recorded here
Marked as a circular feature (diam. c. 40m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a low-lying karst landscape overlooking a basin to the W. A subcircular grass-covered mound (dims 28m N-S; 24.5m E-W; H 0.8m at S to 1.7m at N) is separated by a berm (Wth 6m at N to 13m at E) from a drystone field wall and townland boundary with Curraghalaher SSW-NW, an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.4m) NW-N, and a low scarp (H 0.2m) N-E. The portal tomb (RO045-043001-) and cist (RO045-053002-) are c. 40m to the NE. It may be a passage tomb, and the description of a cist (RO045-239----) discovered at Lecarrow in 1923 may be from this monument.
