Located in damp, rush-grown pasture, bordering the SW shore of Cloonacurry Lough. A strip (Wth c. 10m) of wet, reed-grown ground intervenes between the burnt mound and the current lake edge. This burnt mound is evident as a very low-profile, roughly oblong rise (c. 10m N–S; c. 5.5m E–W) which was partly levelled in the past. It is highest (H 0.2-0.3m) at its N and S ends, with a low irregular surface inbetween. It is grass-covered and largely free of rushes. At the S end, scatters of small angular stone fragments, dark grey soil and charcoal fragments were exposed on the surface. The mound was first noted in March 2015 during forestry plantation ground works (pers. comm. Michael Cox). An exclusion zone protects the mound from the forestry works.
