At the crest of the SE-facing slope of a NW-SE ridge. This is the mythical burial place of Glas Mac Drecán, a Scandinavian king who had been defeated in a great battle here by the Fianna (O’Grady 1892, 1, 121; 2 131-2; Dooley and Roe 1999, 39-41). It is a grass-covered mound (diam. 9.5m NW-SE; 8.7m NE-SW; H 0.5-1.3m) inside the perimeter of rath (RO039-035002-) at E. The presence of a mound within the enclosure leads Knox (1915, 292-3) to compare the rath with ceremonial enclosures like Rathra (RO027-012001-).
