In rough pasture, on the N side of a ridge and on the W side of a road. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular pile of stones (diam. c. 40m), c. 100m SSW of a mound barrow (SL034-064----). There are no visible remains of the cairn. According to local information, the level of the field was previously c. 1.5m higher but was subsequently lowered due to quarrying and large boulders encountered during the quarrying are piled against the adjacent field boundary.
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).
