Near the top of the semi-karst Glasgeivnagh Hill commanding panoramic views, with land falling steeply to a cliff c. 60m to the SE. In rough pasture within a large multiperiod field system (CL010-064001-). This is one of a cluster of 9 cairns along this hilltop (see also CL010-064028-, CL010-064029-, CL010-064030-, CL010-064031-, CL010-064032-, CL010-064033-, CL010-064065- and CL010-064-088-). Hachured and named ‘Carn’ on the 1897 OS 25-inch plan and the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This irregular-shaped, partly grass-covered cairn (10m E-W; 8.5m N-S; max. H 1m at S) is very low at the N. Near the NE edge of the cairn is a raised subcircular stone concentration (H 0.6m), much of the NE side of which has been removed. This damage appears to have already occurred by the time of Westropp’s (1913, 249) visit to this ‘defaced little carn’.
