On the summit of Cullaun, on a slight NW-facing slope, in rough mountain bog, in the Slievefelim Mountains. Annotated 'Mound' and depicted on the OS 25-inch map as a small oval-shaped earthwork standing on the townland boundary with Falleenadatha. The mound may be related to the OS trig station marking spot height of 1524 ft. OD which is immediately W of the mound. Or may be the remains of a boundary cairn constructed by the Ordnance Survey to mark this boundary.
Monument surveyed by the ASI in 1999 and described as a circular-shaped flat-topped mound (diam. 8m; H 0.3m) of earth and stone defined by a fosse (basal Wth 1.4m; overall Wth 6.3m; D 0.5m). A narrow routeway (Wth 0.6m) is cut (D 0.15m) from the outer edge of the fosse to the top of the mound at E and appears to be a relatively recent modification. Visible as an oval-shaped area of differential growth on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018.
