In a flat arable field by the north-east shore of Inishmurray. On level ground within a field by the northern shore, a long, low mound of grassy rubble measures 8 m long (east/west) by 4 m wide and is 1 m high. There are two small hollows in its upper surface. This could possibly be a kiln or, more likely, simply a large field clearance mound. It is strongly colonised by meadow grasses and associated weeds.
The above description is derived from the survey of the archaeological remains undertaken in 1997-99 and published in:
