On the bog-grown southern slopes of the Ox Mountains. A heather-grown, bog-covered cairn of trapezoidal outline (L 37m E-W; Wth 14.7m E end, 9m W end; H 2m). The stones of the cairn are exposed in two holes in the bog cover. One is some 5m from the W end of the cairn and the other is about 12m further to the E. A large displaced stone exposed in the more easterly opening is jammed in an upright position among cairn stones. A shallow U-shaped inturn in the broader end of the mound may indicate the presence of a buried court.
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).
