On the broad flat floor of the Nore river valley, on the S side of a road. It is described in the OS Letters (1839) as, 'a heap of stones and seven old white thorn trees growing round it; this they call Leacht Dubhluing, i.e., Dubhluing's Heap or Monument, but they know nothing of its origin. (It is the burial place of Dubhluing O'Brenan, 3rd p. of Idough. He died in 954 - Four Masters)' (O'Flanagan ed. 1930, vol. 1, 89 (30)). When visited in 1987 there was an overgrown area where the road verge widens out with a single thorn tree but no obvious cairn was visible.
