Situated at the N edge of a plateau overlooking Glencar valley. This is a circular cairn (diam. 12.5m; H 0.4 1.2m) with a quarry (diam. 6.8m) at the centre which reveals a large cist (dims 3.4m E W; 1.4m N S) with possibly a second cist (dims 1.2m E W; 1.4m N S) or a portico immediately to the E, although there are no roofing stones present. There is an open short cist (dims 0.9m x 0.65m) on the perimeter of the quarry at SW and a second cist with the lintel in place on the perimeter of the quarry at E. It is a possible wedge tomb.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
