The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise near the summit of the semi-karst Glasgeivnagh Hill commanding wide views, with land falling steeply to a cliff c. 115m to the E. In rough pasture within a large multiperiod field system (CL010-064001-). This is one of a cluster of 9 cairns along this hilltop (see also CL010-064027-, CL010-064-028-, CL010-064029-, CL010-064030-, CL010-064031-, CL010-064032-, CL010-064033-, and CL010-064065-). This subcircular cairn (11m E-W; 10.3m N-S; H 0.5-0.8m) incorporates several upright stones at the centre but they do not appear to form a cist or kerb. Mound walls extend SW from the W edge of the cairn, and NE from the NNW edge.
