Located in Belleek wood on the W bank of the River Moy, on the former estate of Belleek Manor. This is not shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map, but in shown on the 1930 edition as a roughly circular hachured feature, with the site, a possible megalithic structure (MA030-053001-), named ‘Cromlech’, located immediately to N. It was recorded by de Valéra and Ó Nualláin (1964, appendix no. 11, 95-6): as ‘a round mound which seems to be cairn of large stones.’ It appears as a roughly circular rise or mound with a circular summit (diameter c. 10-15m) and broadly sloping sides, which give an overall diameter of c. 50-55m. The large stones noted by de Valéra and Ó Nualláin are not now visible. The nature of this mound is uncertain.
