The National Monuments Service's description
On semi-karst ground at the SW edge of the S summit plateau of Turloughmore Hill, commanding wide views from S to W and limited views from SE to S. Documented and reported to the National Monuments Service in 2006 by Elizabeth Gills. This disturbed circular cairn (circ. 38m; 13m N-S; 10.2m E-W; H 0.8m) has had its centre largely removed, exposing a cist (CL010-222002-). The cairn is composed of loosely piled subangular stones, covered by grass on much of its E-S side. Several rows of upright kerbstones (L 1.8) are visible on the N-E side.
