In pasture, in an expanse of flat damp pasture and bog adjacent to the Mannin River which flows out of Island Lake 230m to S.
Elongated oblong rise or mound (c. 29m WNW-ESE; c. 17m NNE-SSW; H c. 2m) with an rather irregular and dilapidated appearance. The top of the mound forms a narrow relatively flat spine (Wth c. 2-3m) which grades into a well defined, steep slope on the S side and a gradual, slumped slope on the N side. The mound has the appearance of a natural feature, and appears to be composed of fine gravel/sand. It is sod-covered and dotted with hawthorn and blackthorn bushes. A heap of dredging upcast from the river abuts the mound at S.
The mound is known locally as a ‘fairy hill’ and is said to contain a souterrain (MA093-020002-) (Pers. comm. B. Freyne, SMR file).
