In rough rush and gorse-covered pasture, on a S-facing hillslope overlooking Glengarriff Harbour and Whiddy Island. The partially moss-covered remains of a circular cairn (diam. 4m; H 0.6m), consisting of a variety of stones, are defined by a kerb of contiguous slabs NE-S that protrude from shallow bog. Some of the stones may have been used to build an animal shelter situated c. 15m to the E.
