In the Carrowkeel-Kesh Corann passage tomb cemetery. On a little terrace on the N slope of Barrnabinnia, one of the bog-grown N-S aligned ridges forming the Bricklieve Mountains, and c. 40m NW of and downslope from the passage tomb (SL040-089----). This is a circular cairn (diam. 11.5m; H 0.7m at S and c. 1.5m at the N or downslope side) parts of which are under a growth of peat c. 0.3m thick. At the approximate centre of the cairn there are two prostrate slabs, one (1.7m x 0.9m; T 0.3m) overlying the other (0.95m x 0.5m; T 0.25m). There is a possibility that these stones may have formed part of a chamber.
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).
