Recorded by Petrie (1837, 183, No. 62) as 'A tumulus of stones and clay. Known locally as Cruckhanacurragh or the little hill of the marsh. About 180 feet in circumference and 15 feet high, the top flat or rather hollowed.' This is a grass-grown round mound measuring c. 15m in diameter and 4.50m high (Timoney 1984, 323, no. 10). It has been listed as a bowl barrow by Timoney (1984, 323) and a possible passage tomb (Ó Nualláin 1989, 91).
