In gently undulating pasture, with reasonable views of the surrounding landscape but overlooked by higher ground to E. A former millrace is located c. 56m to NW. Listed in the RMP (1996) as 'Megalithic Structure' and not depicted on any OS historic mapping. According to Westropp (1902-04, 111), ‘The remains are greatly defaced, and are not marked on the maps. Four stones stand in line, side by side, lying east and west on a low mound, among hawthorns, to the south-east of the outer bridge on the front Avenue [of Kiltannon house]; it is probably the remains of a small dolmen. The blocks measure 4 feet by 30 inches to 24 inches by 7 inches; the second and third are each 4 feet 4 inches wide; other dimensions similar. Another similar slab lies to the west on the slope of the mound, which is 18 feet long’. A conspicuous mound (diam. 4.5m; H 0.7m) at this location appears to be of sod-covered stone and rock outcrop. This equates well with Westropp's description but it is not possible to say if this is a natural outcrop of rock or if it is a collapsed megalithic structure.
