Situated in a small field, on the E shore of Ballaghkeeran Bay in Killinure Lough at SE end of Lough Ree. Possible promontory fort (WM022-041----) lies c. 35m to N. Monument described in 1978 as a low circular mound of earth. According to Mr Olav Johansen, who visited the site, this may represent a Viking burial. This could only be confirmed by further investigation such as geophysics and/or excavation.
