In pasture, on a slight NNW-facing slope. The remains of a small circular enclosure (diam. 3.5m), defined by an arc of low slabs (H c. 0.2m) set on edge SE-NW, sit on top of a low earthen mound (diam. 8m; H 0.4m). The enclosing element is missing NW-SE where the mound has been disturbed. Large stones have been dumped on the E half of the mound. There is a spread (diam. 1m) of small stones in the centre of the enclosure. A single upright stone (H 1.07m), diamond-shaped in plan, roughly rectangular in section and orientated E-W, stands on the mound, immediately outside the enclosing element at W. Packing-stones are visible at the base and a slab is used as packing on its N side. According to local information, there is a tradition that this monument is associated with Hugh O'Neill who is said to have camped here on his way to the Battle of Kinsale (1601). Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
