Moghill, Ballyvoge, 1903. One chamber, circular, stone-roofed; entrance lost under turf and shade. The chamber is 2.1m long, 1.8m wide and 1.22m high; the roof holds five stones, the largest 0.91m by 0.76m. The passage is 0.76m long, 0.61m wide and 0.46m high, with four side stones and a missing threshold. The cairn is 7.3m long, 5.5m wide and 0.9m high. The site is classed as a passage tomb, though its small size and local setting could also fit a Beaker-age burial or a later memorial chamber.
