Located within a small stone-built enclosure (SL001-013001-).
This is a National Monument (no. 117) in state ownership. Traditionally known as Treenode More (Tríonóid Mór or ‘Great Trinity [Leacht]’), this leacht stands centrally within the enclosure and is a well-made rectilinear cairn of evenly course flat stones, brought to a fair finish on all sides and a flat upper surface. It measures 1.53 m east/west by 1.4 m north/south and is 0.8m high. A fine cross-slab (SL001-013002-) surmounts. The leacht is remarkably well preserved, perhaps rebuilt on at least one occasion.
Another leacht (SL001-014001-), known as Treenode Beg, is located outside the enclosure, a few meters to W.
