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-). Hachured and labelled ‘Carn’ on the 1897 OS 25-inch plan and the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This is one of a cluster of 9 cairns along this hilltop (see also CL010-064027-, CL010-064028-, CL010-064030-, CL010-064031-, CL010-064032-, CL010-064033-, CL010-064065- and CL010-064-088-). This subcircular cairn (11.5m E-W; 9m N-S) is lowest (H 0.4-0.5m) at the N and highest (H 1m) at the E. A dislodged flat limestone slab near the centre is suggestive of a cist, while cavities to the NNE and SSW of the centre may possibly indicate other cists. A later animal pen is built against the SW side of the cairn.
