The National Monuments Service's description
The only indication of the 'Kilmurry' marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps is a modern field clearance cairn said locally to overlie 'graves'. This is situated on a slight ridge of cultivated land sloping down to the Culoort River close to the cliffs.
(Bonner 1972, 55)
