Located on the summit of a saddle-backed ridge under tillage within the site of a hilltop enclosure (DU014-012001-). The site comprises a low circular flat-topped mound (diam. 9m; H 0.75m). A trigonometrical pillar (586') was placed on the site by the OSi. Charcoal deposits were found near the centre of site during the burial of a sheep (Hartnett 1957, 266-7). This site is part of an extensive barrow cemetery identified by Keeling (1983, 70, Site III). Gorse covered low mound, square shaped around base of mound which provides some semblance of a buffer. Amazing views, north to Mourne Mountains, south to Dublin and Wicklow Mountains east to Lambay and west as far as the eye can see. Geophysical survey undertaken by The Discovery Programme (13R0084) uncovered extensive remains in the vicinity of the barrow.
