Located at the peak at the SW end of the summit ridge (L c. 500m NE-SW) of Benbo Mountain at a point where three townlands meet. A circular cairn (diam. 6m; H 0.2m) is protruding through peat with a conical cairn (diam. 2.5m; H 1m) built on top of it as a boundary cairn. Cairn (LE011-114----) is further down the SW-facing slope of the ridge, c. 670m to the SW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
