Not visible at ground level. Marked on 1908 edition of OS 25-inch map as 'Carn' located 110m to the SSE of nearby church (OF027-00008002-), however on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map the carn is depicted at a different location. On this map the cairn is shown located 100m to the SSW of the church, where it is annotated as a 'Carn' standing in the SW corner of the field where the church and graveyard is located. Comerford (1883, 124-5) was not certain whether the carn marked a grave or was raised by pilgrims visiting the nearby church (OF027-008002-).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
