Part of Baile na mBocht (GA110-162----); on a slight rise. A crescentic mound of grassed-over stone (L 15.5m, Wth 12m ext.). Described by Kinahan (1869d, 26, no. 8) as 'A group of three mounds, similar to GA022-008---- [i.e. GA110-115----]', Some 3m to E is a second mound (L 10.2m, Wth 7.9m) overlain by a field wall. Both may once have formed a conjoined clochan. Another mound a short distance to SW may represent the remains of the third mound mentioned by Kinahan. (Robinson 1980)
