Part of Baile na mBocht (GA110-162----); in an area of bare rock outcrop. Described by Kinahan (1869d, 26, no. 14) as a 'Ruined mound, with part of a circular chamber 21 feet [6.4m] in diameter. Extending towards the east from this chamber there is a passage ... covered by large flags'. No visible surface trace of this or the 'circle of stones, 21 feet [6.4m] in diameter ... contiguous to the chamber' could be found in the area indicated by Kinahan. (Westropp 1895, 261)
