In recently replanted woodland, in a gap in the Ox Mountains 0.8km NW of Ballygawley Lough. To N and E the ground drops quite sharply to a stream that flows NW-SE. Detailed examination is not possible as the site is much disturbed by tree planting and quite overgrown by briars and bushes that flourish while the trees are still small. A gapped line (L c. 17m) large boulders forms an incomplete ring SE-NW. The nature of the site is somewhat uncertain but it may be a Carrowmore-type passage tomb. Some 100m to the E there is a another possible passage tomb (SL020-274----).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
