The National Monuments Service's description
Colhoun (1995) suggested that a mound at this location may contain a chambered grave. The mound, roughly rectangular, measures c. 7m by 3m by 1m high. It is grass grown, although some large stones are partly exposed at the surface. The mound is clearly an artificial feature, but it is not known whether it covers any structure.
Colhoun 1995, 78, no. 30/09.
