In rough hill pasture, on the E bank of a stream on the lower N-facing slopes of Tooreennamna Mountain. A D-shaped mound (7.1m N-S; straight S side: L 9.6m E-W; H 1.2m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil, covered with grass and gorse bushes. A boulder is embedded in the S side of the mound and there is a short arc of upright stones 2m from its SW corner. Another burnt mound (CO102-041013-) lies 6m to the W and there is a standing stone (CO102-041008-) c. 50m to the SE.
