The National Monuments Service's description
In a hollow at the E edge of a plateau in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-084001-). This small cairn (4.5m N-S; 3.5m E-W; H 0.2-0.4m) was noted by de Valera and Ó Nualláin (1961, 29) and was later recorded as ‘Cairn F’ by Grant (1995, 31-3) as part of an investigation into a concentration of prehistoric monuments in the immediate vicinity. However, its formless shape suggests that it may be a field-clearance cairn. Two other cairns (CL009-084010-and CL009-084012-) lie c. 75m to the WNW and c. 64 to the WSW respectively.
