In rough hill pasture on bog, on the W edge of a terrace on a W-facing slope overlooking Glengarriff Harbour. A boulder (1.35m E-W; 1.15m N-S; H 0.5m) rests on at least three support-stones (H 0.1m), one of which has a pad-stone inserted on top. This boulder-burial lies within a network of field boundaries (CO091-016001-). There is an enclosure (CO091-016002-) c. 26m to the SE.
