On a stony hillside overlooking Cuan Cill Chiaráin to E. Known locally as Tobar Muire, it consists of a small irregular hollow in a rock outcrop, with a drystone canopy (H 1.1m) on W side. A few metres NE is a rectangular patch (E-W c. 2m) of small boulders, possibly the remains of a 'leaba'. To N is a granite boulder (H 0.8m) which is said to have reappeared there after being thrown into the sea. (Robinson 1985, 55)
