Located 500m S of Cummeen Strand, the inner reaches of Sligo Bay, on an E-facing slope in undulating pasture, formerly part of the estate of Cummeen House. A flat-topped, sheer-sided mound (17m N-S; 19m E-W; H 4m) of earth and stone construction. The mound is largely grass covered though in areas of slippage, detail of stone revetment can be seen. On the W side there is a broad V-shaped depression, forming a path to the top (measuring at the top 4m E-W; 2m N-S; D 1m). Timoney (1984, 324, no. 17) suggests that this and a nearby cairn (SL014-047003-) may be 'nineteenth century demesne monuments on the Ormsby demesne'.
