Located at the E edge of a little basin (diam. c. 100m) at the bottom of the ENE-WSW ridge of Slieve na Calliagh, with a slight hill rising c. 100m to the N. This is a circular grass-covered mound (diam. of base 5.3m NE-SW; 5.1m NW-SE; max. H c. 0.5m), with material extending off to the NW and SE (L c. 12m NW-SE). Burnt stone has been recovered from it.
