The National Monuments Service's description
One of four barrows on Athenry golf course (GA083-066----; GA083-067----; GA083-068----; GA083-075----). Situated on a slight S-facing slope, it now acts as a trap in front of the 9th tee. It consists of a poorly preserved subcircular area (13.6m N-S; 12m E-W) comprising a low central mound (diam. c. 5.5m), which appears to have been dug out, surrounded by a low earthen bank.
