The National Monuments Service's description
On the W shores of the partially drained Lough Fergus in a marshy area of high rushes and reeds. Named 'Carns' on the 1842 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘potential site-name’ in the RMP (1996). No visible surface traces of any cairns survive. Only an odd boulder was visible in the overgrowth and among the reeds and rushes. See also CL016-077----.
