Prominently located on a gentle S-facing grassed-over karst limestone slope in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). Hachured and labelled ‘Carn’ on the OS 25-inch plan (1897) and the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This small quite flat-topped cairn (diam. of base 7.2m E-W; 5.9m N-S; diam. of top 4.9m E-W; 4.5m N-S; H. 0.7-0.9m) is composed of stones and slabs, some standing or leaning. One upright slab (L 1m; H 0.4m; T 0.2m), oriented NW-SE, is sticking out of the top of it. Smaller stones lie against the SW face of this slab, creating a cavity, which Westropp (1915, 257) recorded as ‘the remains of small slab cist’ (CL009-124----) A cashel (CL009-059056-) lies c. 55m to the WNW.
