Located on a low N-S elevation, on the summit of Knocknarae Mountain, 52m SW of a large passage tomb, known as Maeve’s Cairn (MA014-076003-), and 31m to SW of a possible passage tomb (MA014-076005-).
An irregular cluster of eight boulders (av. Size c. 1.1m x 0.7m) appear to represent the very ruined remnants of a chamber, now partly concealed by heather. On the W side of the cluster, there are two recumbent split boulders (H 0.5m), aligned NNW−SSE, which may represent the SW side of the chamber. No race of a cairn or enclosing stone circle is evident. This is likely to be one of the monuments on Knocknarae, which was disturbed in the early 1800’s by Richard Chamber Walker, a local landowner and antiquarian. (Bergh 1995, 240, site 6). This is a National Monument (No. 153) in state ownership.
