Passage tomb in Dooroc,corneddan

On the summit of Corn Hill adjacent to a tall communications mast and associated buildings. This is a large, round cairn (diam. 18m; H c. 3m) on which there is an OS trigonometrical pillar. Though largely grass- and heather-grown, the indications are that it is of stone construction. A field wall, also the townland boundary, runs E-W across the top of the cairn. A central chamber approached by a passage from the NE, reportedly discovered in the cairn during the early decades of the 20th century, is said to have been reopened and then filled with stones in the 1960s (Herity 1974, 261). This may be a passage tomb. There are two cairns (LF005-018---- and LF005-020----) in the vicinity: the former lies c. 120m to the SW, the latter was not located.
