The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland. de Valera and Ó Nualláin (1972, 29, no. 11) noted a circular bushy area 'some 30m south' of the more westerly example (GA100-103----) of two barrows (see also GA100-103001-) and they believed it may have concealed 'a third mound'. On inspection in February 1985 the small clump of dense overgrowth was inaccessible and it was not possible to determine whether it was of archaeological significance or not.
