Located on a prominent ridge above the beach at Barnageeragh and indicated as 'site of cairn' on 1837 OS 6-inch map. The corner of a field boundary running NE-SW incorporates portion of the mound (dims. L 10m NW-SE; Wth 3.5m N-S; H 1.3m). Probably quarried for stone during construction of railway between Dublin and Drogheda which runs by the site (Healy 1975, 17). The poorly preserved cairn was subject to magnetometry, resitivity and ground-penetrating radar. Several pits were identified close to/inside the monument and a large anomalous feature was detected in the interior of the mound indicating the cairn is much better preserved than expected. (PZP 2004, 11). Despite development in the vicinity the site remains unchanged. It is however not demarcated.
