Situated on the summit of Tallaght Hill at Knockannavea, on a right-angle bend in the townland boundary. A circular round-topped cairn (diam.22m; H 3.5m) covered in furze. There are no indications of kerbstones present. There is a central hollow where the cairn has been robbed of its stone. In 1994 this site was damaged when a forest road cut into the perimeter of the cairn in the N, W and NW. Both a metal and a wooden pole have been inserted into the edge of the monument in the NW and a metal tripod is positioned on the summit. Forestry has been planted directly up to the SE quadrant of the monument. (Healy 1975, 1-19)
