This monument was discovered in Muckduff townland in 1934, and it was examined by NMI personnel. It consisted of a low circular mound (diam 8.9m; H 0.5m) composed of reddish clay and sand, with traces of burning. Beneath the mound, at a depth of 0.7m below the top, there was a slab-lined grave (L 2m; Wth 0.5m; D 0.5). When the landowner removed the covering stones, he found 'an earthenware vessel and also some crumbled bone.' (Raftery 1941, 302)
