At the summit of a broad NNW-ESE ridge. The name 'Sheegort' is derived from Ceat Magach, one of Queen Meave's warriors, according to local tradition (Gannon 1972). Subcircular grass and scrub-covered mound (dims of top 33.8m NE-SW; 28.5m NW-SE; dim. of base 40m NW-SE; H 4.6m at NW and SE) with a dished summit (diam. of hollow 21m NW-SE; D 1-1.6m) that may be the result of ancient quarrying. At the base is a fosse (Wth of base 3.2-4.5m; D 1-2m) and there is a ramp onto the mound at NNE (max. ext. diam. 54.4m NW-SE). Barrow (RO045-038----) is c. 45m to the NNW.
