Located in blanket peat between the lower NW slopes of Slievagh and the cliffs at Canglass Point, this cairn is of subcircular plan. Measuring 15.3m N-S x 13.5m E-W, it rises to a maximum height of .9m at N. Largely composed of medium sized stones, it is retained at N and NW by a series of four large slabs set on end, with average dimensions of 1.35m x .5m x .25m. Some 25m to S is a stretch of pre-bog walling, c. 7m long, while a short distance to W is Poulagellane blow-hole.
