In wet pasture, 90m SW of the River Mahore that forms townland boundary with Oldtown. One of four barrows (LI040-037001/004-). Not marked on OSi historic maps. Identified by Tarbett (1987, 51) as ‘Site 2’ and described as, 'larger in overall diameter than site one and more ovoid in shape. It has an external N-S diameter of 15.50m and 18m E-W. It cannot be easily traced in the field, the shallow ditch does not clearly define the interior platform at the North. The enclosing bank is low and is not seen to survive at the NW or at the East. The interior platform measures 8.50m in diameter N-S and 11m E-W. The ditch measures circa 1.50m in width and 20cms in depth, the bank measures 20cms in height. This barrow is located 150m due South from Site one’. No surface remains visible on OSi orthophotograph taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimages.
