The National Monuments Service's description
In a shallow depression in a gentle W-facing slope in pasture. This well-preserved barrow comprises a grass-covered circular platform (diam. of base 13.7m N-S; min. 12m E-W; diam. of top 10m N-S; 9.3m E-W) which is poorly defined NE-E-SSE, where the platform limits merge with the surrounding ground. However, a later N-S running field wall (and townland boundary) appears to follow the edge of the barrow on this eastern side. Several non-contiguous stones protruding through the sod at the edge of the platform may be kerbstones. At the centre of the platform is a low cairn (diam. c. 1.5m; H 0.1m). There is a graveyard (CL017-020002-) c. 69m to the S, enclosing Killinaboy medieval church (CL017-020001-). The site of a tower house (CL010-020004-) lies c. 93m to the SE.
