Situated off-centre within an enclosure (CL042-0740008-) immediately outside the NW portion of the middle rampart of Mooghaun hillfort (CL042-074001-). The cairn is roughly rectangular in plan and section (1.4m N-S; 1.6m E-W; max. H 0.3m). Larger stones (L 0.3-0.5m) were found towards the edges while smaller stones (0.1-0.2m) were concentrated in the centre. The stones were placed in an irregular pattern but some of the larger slabs were laid on top of each other. The cairn was excavated in 1995 as part of the North Munster Project of the Discovery Programme. It was found that the depth of soil increased towards the cairn, especially in the area adjacent to it. No finds were uncovered and there was no direct evidence for the date or function of the enclosure. (Grogan 2005, vol. 1, 191-2)
