In pasture, located on a ridge. This monument is represented on the 1837 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps as a small oblong feature, named ‘Friar’s Grave’ and ‘Laghtadawannagh’; it would appear to be the source of the townland name.
According to local information, there was a low heap of stones at this location, measuring ‘about 8 feet [2.4m] by 4 feet [1.2m] and about 2 to 3 feet [0.6-0.9m] high’. It did not appear to have any formal structure. It was removed during land clearance in the 1970’s/80’s.
A single stone (0.8m N-S; 0.7m E-W; T 0.2m) lies partly embedded in the ground just below the summit of the ridge, on the NW-facing slope, but it is unclear if this is a remnant of the monument.
