Ó Ríordáin (1936, 176-177) the results of which were described as follows; ‘In 1935 further excavations were conducted on a total of twenty of these monuments. The results were frankly disappointing as no unmistakable burial was found in any of the barrows excavated’ (Ó Ríordáin 1936, 177). This site which was not excavated is located in N section of the field 50m to the NW of the excavated barrow (LI049-072015-). No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimages.
